    Automatically go back to a previous slide instead of forwards?

    Hi,
    I want my presentation to loop through three slides until a hyperlink is clicked on one of them to continue the presentation. Is it possible to use VBA to make the presentation automatically go back to the beginning rather than going onto the fourth slide? Maybe using an action but one that works automatically at the end of the slide rather than waiting to for an input?
    Thanks

    Thanks but I'm creating my presentations from Access using VBA so they are different each time and I do not want to have to set up the custom shows each time. Is there a way to automate this process using VBA?

    You can create the custom shows from vba using the NamedSlideShows.Add method

    pptPres.SlideShowSettings.NamedSlideShows.Add(Name,Array of SlideIds)

    You can of course also add the action buttons.
