HI Group,

I want PPT to generate a random number (between 1 and 20) on a buton click.
I have never tried using VBA and suspect this is the only way to do it.
If a kind person has any ideas and lots of patience, I would love to hear
from you.

Sub MakeARandomNumber()

Dim MaxNumber As Long

' Edit this to be the highest number you're willing to accept
MaxNumber = 42

Randomize ' Initialize random-number generator.
MsgBox (Int(MaxNumber * Rnd) + 1)

End Sub

That's the code. Have a read here to learn ... er ... where to stick it. ;-)

How do I USE this VBA stuff in PowerPoint?
