I need help trying to figure out a way to utilize "any" option that will
allow me to place multiple checkboxes on a page, that will once all
checkboxes are checked will result in a green autoshape box being placed on
page 2 of my show, which is the checklist page. If all of the boxes on a
specific page are not checked then that section will show a red autoshape box.

Help!!!! I am using Powerpoint 2003.
 
As John said, this requires VBA. I have a similar (but not exactly the
same) example on my Web site. In this example, a menu marks of what
areas have been visited. Once you visit all areas, a "Quiz" button is
revealed. This is Example 7.11 on my site:

Click on Examples by Chapter and Chapter 7.

I have a small amount of code in this powerpoint. I am in no ways completely
knowledgeable about how to get this done.

I have reviewed your code and I believe that this is extremely similar to
what I need to happen, but I need a little more help!
 
I've adapted the code a bit. Go to the same place and download again (make
sure you refresh the site)

It will work on any slide. Copy and paste the green / red shape and with any
checkboxes you add > right click > view code and between the two lines of
code type checks

Done!

The last thing I need is this.

For example if page 2 is my contents page and these are the headings:
Legal
Finance

On each of their individual pages, that is linked from the contents page
Legal checkbox checkbox green or red light.
Finance checkbox checkbox green or red light

Can the red light be linked to show up on the contents page?
 
Is there anyone that can help without a fee.

I need a changing object to show up on another slide, when it changes on
slide x it will change on slide y.
 
Since John's been writing your code, I've lost track of where you are
and haven't looked at his code. With VBA, it is not hard to change a
shape on more than one slide. The trick is to have some way of
identifying the shape. For example, if the shape is always shape #3,
then you can do things to:

ActivePresentation.Slides(####).Shapes(3).....

where #### is replaced by the slide number you want to affect. However,
it is difficult to know if the shape is always going to be shape 3. In
that case, you might want to name the shape (Example 8.7 on my site has
code for naming shapes). Then you can refer to the shape by name. For
example, if the shape is named MyCheckMark, you could impact it on
another slide with:

ActivePresentation.Slides(####).Shapes("MyCheckMark").....

I'm afraid that John has already gone above and beyond the call of duty
by providing you with the examples that he has. In general, you will
find people here happy to help you as you struggle through writing your
own code, but it is rare that you will find someone to actually write
the code for you free of charge.

David/John,

In no way am I trying to discredit or be unappreciative for the information
that I have received. I was just so close to getting it work that I thought I
would try to see if anyone else knew how to make it work.

I may have just been unable to communicate what it was that I needed, which
I totally take the blame for. I just noticed on post after post that people
were excited about getting their project to work and I was eagerly trying to
get mine to work as well.

It isn't as though I just sit her trying to get someone to do my powerpoint.
I have been on 10+ sites searching to figure this out.

Thanks a Million You Guys for the info you've provided.
 
And in no way I am trying to imply that no one will help you. We are
happy to help you. See what you can do with the code yourself. Then,
post what you have, what it is doing, and what you want it to do that
it's not doing, and someone here should be able to help you tweak your
code. Just remember that some people here do this kind of thing as a
business and will only give away so much "free product." Others of us do
this on the side, in addition to our regular jobs; we're happy to do
what we can for free, but we all have limited time.
