How to go to slide and run animation?

[jeffwirth]

Using VBA, I need to go to a particular slide and run the first animation which is set to run "On click."
Below is the code I've got so far. It runs the PowerPoint show and goes to slide 5, but SendKeys "{DOWN}" doesn't run the first animation.
Any suggestions?

Sub LoadSlideAndRunAnimation()
  Application.Activate
  ActiveWindow.Panes(1).Activate
  Windows(1).View.GoToSlide 5
  ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings.Run
  SlideShowWindows(1).View.GoToSlide 5
  SlideShowWindows(1).Activate
  SendKeys "{DOWN}"
End Sub

I'm working with PowerPoint 2010 on Windows 10.

OK, so the Next method isn't just for slides. It's also for animations. Here's the code that works:

      Application.Activate
      ActiveWindow.Panes(1).Activate
      Windows(1).View.GoToSlide slideNum
      ActivePresentation.SlideShowSettings.Run
      SlideShowWindows(1).View.GoToSlide slideNum
      SlideShowWindows(1).View.Next
