I attempting to produce an online mental maths test for
pupils to take from home. Powerpoint can provide most of
the presentation needs,(sound, timing) but appears not to
have the same functionality as VB. The pupils will place
their answers in a defined input box which is easy to
compare as right/wrong and mark. VB tools seem to be
available but is there any way I can use the
functionality of VB code in Powerpoint?

Thanks

Several - you can use VB to control PowerPoint remotely or you can use VBA
(visual basic for applications) directly from within PPT.

There's a lot of how-to info on the PPT FAQ at http://www.pptfaq.com (scroll
down to the Programming PowerPoint section)

There are also links to some of the other VBA sites; definitely follow those as
well.
 
What type of Math is it? I have created CBT-type presentations for Basic
Math, Algebra, Geometry, and Trig. Albeit they are designed for nuclear
power plants, but you can at least see some of the sample code to see how to
get the functionality. Let me know exactly what you are trying to do and I
will send you a few sample slides (off-line, of course).
 
Oh great, 8-year-old's building a nuke from left over algebra quizzes. {g}
