return from hyperlink (progamatically)

I use Followhyperlink from within one presentation to launch another.
To return to the original presentation I again use Followhyperlink.

The question:

It seems a bit flakey, is there a more elegant way of returning to the place
from which the original hyperlink was launched (e.g. the programatic
equivelent of the back button / arrow)?

Thanks
 
If you are hyperlinking to another show, you don't want to follow a
hyperlink back, you want to end the other show, which will return you to
the original show right where you left off. I belive it is something
like:

ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Exit

David,

Thank you for the information.

It seems to do what you say but I am not clear where the re-entry point is
as code after the hyperlink in the calling sub routine does not appear to be
executed. Other than that everything else works.

I guess that once you end the show, you end the show, so code associated
with that show wouldn't execute. What are you trying to do after you
return to the original show? Can you do that before you return to the
original show?
