Question on Forms and functionality of macros
Here is an example for point 2
Sub ChartToPresentation()
Const ppViewSlide As Long = 1
Const ppLayoutTitleOnly As Long = 11
Dim oPP As Object
Dim oPPPres As Object
Dim oPPSlide As Object
If ActiveChart Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Select a chart and try again.", vbExclamation
Else
On Error Resume Next
Set oPP = GetObject(, "Powerpoint.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
If oPP Is Nothing Then
Set oPP = CreateObject("Powerpoint.Application")
oPP.Visible = True
End If
Set oPPPres = oPP.Presentations.Add
oPP.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide
Set oPPSlide = oPPPres.Slides.Add(1, ppLayoutTitleOnly)
Set oPPPres = oPP.ActivePresentation
oPP.ActiveWindow.ViewType = ppViewSlide
Set oPPSlide = oPPPres.Slides _
(oPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideIndex)
ActiveChart.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Size:=xlScreen, _
Format:=xlPicture
oPPSlide.Shapes.Paste.Select
oPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignCenters, True
oPP.ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Align msoAlignMiddles, True
Set oPPSlide = Nothing
Set oPPPres = Nothing
Set oPP = Nothing
End If
End Sub

Hi,
I have a client who would like for me to develop a spreadsheet that would
ideally consist of a successive set of forms - each one of which would
have a
quetion. What would happen is that the user would answer the question on
the
first form and then based on their answer, the next form would come up
with a
new question. In total, there would be 30-50 questions.
Also based on the results of each question would be a calculation which
occurs (ie - if the user answers "No" to question 1, then perform
calculatoin
A+B-C; if the user answers "Yes" to question 1, then perform (2*A)/(B+C)).
Ultimately, a set of data will be derived from the users full set of
answers
and there will be graphs generated from this data.
I have the following questoins based on these requirements:
1 - Is it feasible in your mind to have 30-50 forms which are triggered by
the answer to the preceding question?
2 - Is it possible to have a macro open up a powerpoint file and copy
graphs
from Excel into this file?
3 - Is there any other software (MS or other) that you think would better
suit these requirements?
I appreciate your input!
Rob
