I have an action button tied to a macro. Sometimes when I click on the action button (usually the first time I try to run the show after opening this particular file), the button isn't clickable. Instead, the show just moves to the next slide like I had clicked on an empty part of the screen. When I exit the show and re-enter, it works fine. A macro run from the previous slide (slide 1) has set a combobox on slide 2 to a different value, moved the presentation from slide 1 to slide 2, then refreshed the page. I thought the refresh would help, but the button still doesn't work every time. Any thoughts? Is this a bug?

Do you have any 3D formatting on your action button? I have found that 3D formatting can cause unexpected behavior, including the problem you're having. Try going back to a plain (2D) format and see if that solves the problem.

I found a way around it, but I think my presentation was getting caught up on the amount of VBA I was trying to run on one slide. 0 comments No comments If I run it in Kiosk mode, the button doesn't work at all.
