Password Protected file wont run macro

[azu_daioh]

I have added a 'modify' password to my presentation, saved it as PPS
but when loaded, it wont run any of the macro.

It runs the presentation up to the slide where you need to click a
button to accept the user entry and move on to the next slide. The
button is hyperlink to run a macro. But if the presentation is saved
w/modify passwor - it halts to this slide.

Is there a way I could password protect the presentation but able to
run the macro as well?

Thank you,
Sharon

Actually, I think the problem is not within the macro but with the
useform. The presentation has a certificate page where the user
enters their name to be printed on the certificate. Does anyone know
if this is the reason why the button does not work on modify protected
presentation? It works when i only use the open protection and not
the modify protection.

If the Presentation is protected from editing, than you can not change the
slide elements.

Why not have your macro create and modify new presentation that is not
protected?

Hi Bill,
Do you mean to separate the "certificate" page from the main
'protected' presentation? I've never created something like this
before so it may take some research. But, thanks for the suggestion.
I'll try it out.

Thanks,
Sharon
