VBA in Powerpoint

Hello there, i was wondering if anyone knew how to create a macro with sequential commands in it. i would like to click a box on a form, then go to the previous/next/ a specific slide.

I currently have the following, which work on their own, but not sequentially.

Sub PatientAdd()
MsgBox "Patient Added Successfully"
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.Previous
End Sub

Previous is not a method that applies to SlideShowWindow (there is usually only one SSW)

This might be what you mean:

Code:

Sub PatientAdd()
MsgBox "Patient Added Successfully"
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Previous
End Sub

Thank you very much, it works like a dream. I also realised that I wanted to go to a specific slide, after executing a message box.

so far I have found

Code:

ActivePresentation.View.GotoSlide GetSlideIndex("PatientHome")
