I want to insert an image and use it as a hyperlink to the
next slide, but only when DOUBLE-clicked, not single
clicked.

Does anybody know how?

I don't know anything about visual basic. Is this the only
way to do it? If so, can anyone provide the code?

Thanks

If you really want this effect, try this:

1. Right-click on your toolbar area and click "Control Toolbox".
2. Click the CommandButton icon to select it and drag a button on your
slide.
3. Right-click the button and select "Properties".
4. Change the "Caption" property to your liking (like "Double-click").
5. Close the "Properties" window when complete.
6. Right-click again and choose "View Code".
7. You will be in the "Click" action. Click the right-dropdown and select
"DblClick".
8. In between the "Start" and "End" sub lines type the following:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next

Close out the VBA window, returning to your slides, and try it out.
 
I'm a fan of VBA, but some others are not. You can do this without VBA by
being a little tricky. It will work on a slide with animations, but will
work better if there are none.

Here's the recipe --
Insert a duplicate slide.
Move the copied slide to the position before the original.
On the copy...
Appear Transition
Timed auto-advance of 00:01
Hide the slide
Link the hyperlink to the link destination
On the original ...
Link the hyperlink to this hidden copy

If the user clicks once, then the slide before the original appears (but is
not noticed, since it is identical). If they do not click on the link (to
them a second time) within one second, it reverts back to the original
slide.
