I would appreciate it if someone could assist me with
getting information for creating forms in my powerpoint
presentation. What I am trying to do is create a form
that the viewer could fill out online and then click and
send to an email address.

I need to find some information for Visual Basics for
Applications for Powerpoint 2002.
 
vicki,
this is all quite doable using VBA. Use userforms to capture the
infomation and then send it using Outlook also with VBA code.

It might make more sense and be a whole lot simpler to have a link in your
PPT presentation take the viewer to an html form on your web server.

Apart from not having to learn VBA and wrestle with forms in PPT
(cantankerous beasties), there are several other advantages that I can think
of offhand.

- Want to change the form? Change it once on the web server or try to get
XXX users to download and use the new version in a PPT file.

- Want anybody to be able to use the presentation, regardless of whether
they have PPT or the viewer? The viewer doesn't support ActiveX or VBA, so
forms won't work there.

- What if the user doesn't have a standard email account? For example, if
they use only web-based email. Sending info by email from PPT won't work in
that case. An HTML link will.
