HI GUYS
am trying to add a shape in power point slide and add action (click event) to run a macro.

through power point vba, it worked perfectly and this is the code i used.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub ADDSHAPE()
Dim pppres As Presentation
Dim pslide As Slide
Dim pshp As Shape

Set pppres = ActivePresentation
Set pslide = pppres.Slides(1)

Set pshp = pslide.Shapes.ADDSHAPE(msoShapeRound1Rectangle, 800, 100, 100, 50)
pshp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "CLICK ME!"
With pshp.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
         .Action = ppActionRunMacro
         .Run = "ADDTEXTBOX"
         .AnimateAction = msoCTrue
End With
 
End Sub

and this is the macro am trying to call
VBA Code:
Sub ADDTEXTBOX()
Dim pppres As Presentation
Dim pslide As Slide
Dim shp As Shape

Set pppres = ActivePresentation
Set pslide = pppres.Slides(1)

Set shp = pslide.Shapes.ADDTEXTBOX(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 100, 100, 100, 50)
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "i have done it!"

End Sub

BUT IF I USE EXCELL VBA,IT FAILS!!!

THIS IS THE EXCEL CODE I USED
VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Option Base 1
Sub powerointt_animations()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ppapp As New PowerPoint.Application
Dim pppres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim shp As PowerPoint.Shape
Dim sld, pslide As PowerPoint.Slide


With ppapp
.Activate
.Visible = msoCTrue
.WindowState = ppWindowMaximized
End With



Set pppres = ppapp.Presentations.Add

Set pslide = pppres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutBlank)

pppres.Slides(1).SlideShowTransition.AdvanceOnClick = msoFalse

Set shp = pslide.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRound1Rectangle, 800, 100, 100, 50)

shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "CLICK ME!"
With shp.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
         .Action = ppActionRunMacro
         .Run = "ADDTEXTBOX"
         .AnimateAction = msoCTrue
End With
 'pppres.SlideShowSettings.Run
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

plus the modified macro in excel vba i intend to call

VBA Code:
Sub ADDTEXTBOX()
Dim pppres As PowerPoint.Presentation
Dim pslide As PowerPoint.Slide
Dim shp As PowerPoint.Shape

'add text
Set pppres = ActivePresentation

Set shp = pslide.Shapes.ADDTEXTBOX(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 100, 100, 100, 50)

shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color.RGB = rgbWhite
shp.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "THATS IS IT!"

End Sub

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Shouldn't the sub ADDTEXTBOX be in the PowerPoint presentation?
