VBA PowerPoint iBrowse Urgent Help!

[mike]

Hello!

I have created a PowerPoint slideshow that runs in the lobby of a building. The plan is to let it run in a loop 24/7 without human interaction. The slideshow includes slides using the iBrowse plugin. iBrowse basically opens a ‘frame’ inside a slide where you can point a URL to display.

Here’s my problem: the URL that iBrowse needs to point to has a date value in the query string that needs to be updated dynamically with the current date each time the slide opens. iBrowse lets you use VBA; I am a web developer but have never used VBA.



Documentation tells me to use Object.getUrl(<url>) to point to a URL, but I don’t know how to get the current date or create the updated URL string to pass in.

Here is the link, with the domain replaced: https://www.exampleurl.com/login/index.php?fuseaction=dashboard.day_power_combined& date=2011-03-31

Please help! I am desperate to fix this within a day or two before my client notices the URL is not updating!

Thanks!
Mike
