I'm rather curious as to the capabilities of powerpoint.
I'm quite familiar with it and have created some fantastic
presentations, but I have never been aware of its full
potential. My company has recently purchased a powerpoint-
like application that has mini and large quizes, among
other things, which are graded immediately and the
resulting scores can be uploaded to one of our databases
using dhtml. This also entails that the individuals have
to log in with a name and employee number, which must be
kept track of, as well. In the interest of saving money,
does powerpoint have such a capability? If so, would this
be difficult to incorporate, and would other software be
necessary to do this?

Thank you

Out of the box, no.
You can get it to do all manner of wondrous things using VBA, but whether
that's a solution depends on:

- Whether you can program in VBA, have staff to do it or budget to hire someone
- Whether you will run the result on your own PCs, or those you have control
over, or need to run it on any old PC any old where.
