Hello,
Im trying to create a quiz system that allows users to log in and take a quiz. However there are two users of the system, lecturers and students. What I need help with is I want to make a page on my slide to allow a lecturer to make content avaiable. For instance If the lecturer logs in they are taken to a page with two buttons on it saying log out or make slides avaiable. Then if a student logs in, depending if the presentation is avaiable they are taken to the quiz, if it is not avaiable a message pops up and telling them it is unvaiable and they are taken to the login screen. Im thinking that i need some sort of button to update a textbox with a value and if that textbox has the value in then it can be made available but im ensure on how to do this? Can anybody help with this? sorry the above is a bit confusing. Thanks Nick |

This can be done in a number of ways. The simplest thing is to use an
InputBox: myPassword = InputBox("Type the instructor password.") If myPassword = "LetMeIn" Then do something here such as GotoSlide 7 Else do something else such as MsgBox "Wrong password" End If Now, the question is what do you do in the "do somethings" above. You will need to keep track of what the instructor has done so you'll need to have the instructor presentation keep track of something. This is really easy if the presentation is running continuously (just use a variable Dim quizAvailable As Boolean), but if the presentation is going to be shut down, you'll have to do something else. If you want to store the information in the presentation, you'll have to save the presentation (ActivePresenation.Save). You could do this by hiding and showing buttons. One button takes you to the quiz, the other pops up a MsgBox saying the quiz is unavailable. If the instructor makes the quiz available hide one button and show the other and save. You could do this with a tag and then you would use an If statement to check the tag. Were you the one working with external databases? If so, you could store the information about the availability of the quiz in the external database. Lots of options. --David On 1/20/10 8:30 AM, in article , "Nickooo87" wrote: Hello, Im trying to create a quiz system that allows users to log in and take a quiz.
