Hi Steve, Thanks for the suggstion. Its still the same question. Just need a better result. Its also a logical progression in learning about Power Point and its limitations. Its no longer about basic Power Point features. As in "Here is Power Point presentation on my summer vacation." Including some pics and cool animations etc. Its more about offering a bit more professional navigation than just play, exit, forward, and previous slides. As in "On the 30th of June we visited Carlsbad Caverns. Click here to take the sub-tour of Carlsbad. You can return here whenever your ready." More of a pop-up / drill-down approach. Now it could be that a better approach is to have a master slide which contains a header index for all slides. Similar to a web page header which indexes the other areas of a web site. We've discussed VBA. But as proven VBA will not work in the PPB (power point browser). Perhaps there is an add-on which will assist in more navigational control. Or perhaps there is a third party product. Or perhaps there is a better way in VB6. So with this in mind: I'd like to drill down to another more detailed slide then return when ready. Any suggestions as how to do this the best way?

I must be missing something.. Why not just do this with nested menus as was
suggested by Fiona? You can create a menu with the main topic buttons, each of which is hyperlinked to the correct custom show or external file. The file or show runs and when it finishes you return to the main menu. If you need to take sidelines from individual slides, then you put buttons on those slides with the individual links. If you really want to get snazzy, you put the section navigation buttons down one side or the other of the master and they show on every slide. I guess what I am missing is why not do this with PPT's hyperlinking and custom show abilities instead of trying to do this through code? Now for Kathy's bias - If you are creating a web site, you are using the wrong tool. If you are creating an informational series of slides that will be delivered via the web, then your links and buttons should be self-explanatory (in other words, the buttons should be labeled so well that they can't be mistaken.) I know that you can deliver this kind of information via the web, but I really don't recommend it.
