I would like to know how to get the onclick procedure of click on a command
button on the first slide of a presentation to call slide 5 for example.
ANy help would be great
 
Are you trying to hypelink a button to the fifth slide? If so, right
click on the button and choose Action Settings. Pick Hyperlink and from
the list, pick Slide.... From there you should be able to pick any slide
you want. If you mean that you want to do programatically with VBA, then
you need the following line in a procedure:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide 5

Remember that buttons only work in Slide Show View, so if you click on
them in Normal View, they won't go anywhere.

If this is not what you mean, then let us know.
