Is it possible to automatically update a set of powerpoint slides based on the results of a query (in the same way as a ppt document may be linked to an excel file)? thanks Riccardo

Hello Riccardo

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

The straightforward answer to this is no, unless you are pretty good at programming.

Perhaps it would be possible to get the query results exported into Excel; and then have the query results from Excel display in PowerPoint.

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
