I have a strange problem, on one particular slide in a presentation, the slide will not advance through either mouse click or automatically after xx seconds. The only way that I can get the slide to advance is by hitting the enter key. To combat this I created a button to simply replace the action of the enter key. I did this with the command ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next This works ok. I would however like there to be a 30 second delay before the advance but I cannot get this how I want. I have tried several methods but all mean that the the vba is in a loop and so the slide animation will not work for that slide which is essential. I would also like the 'wait then advance' command to run upon startup but I am getting nowhere there either :( The reason for the slides not advancing I fear is due to 11 .swf files being on that 1 slide which seem to slow everthing down. Even the animated gifs stop working! If anyone has a suggestion to any of the problems it would be very much appreciated.
