Just be sure you understang Slide objects. Microsoft made this very confusing and many people get caught out.

ActivX objects are contained in a "Slide Object" - This is NOT the slide. I don't know why they didn't call it the ActivXBox or similar but they didn't. Even worse it is always called Slidex (where x is a number.) x does NOT have to be the same as the slide number but the name will be unique. Moving or adding slides does not change the Slide Object name.

A slide can have only one "Slide Object" and you can use this to refer to ActivX objects as I did. Never assume the name of the Slide Object on slide 2 is Slide2!!!!
