Possibly we should use vbNullString instead of &quot;&quot;

If you prefer, it should work as well

Hi All,<br />
I have two ComboBox in a macro-enabled powerpoint presentation. These Combobox represent a start-date and an end-date. The following piece of code clears the combobox, but not if the presentation opens with dates already present. So let's say you open the power point presentation, and the dates from when the presentation was previously given were still in the Combobox, if I try to apply this code...nothing happens. But if I adjust the dates in the combo box and apply the code again, it works and the combobox's are cleared. Strange! Any ideas?<br />
Dim j As Long<br />
Dim cb As Object<br />
<br />
For j = 1 To 2<br />
Set cb = Slide1.Shapes(&quot;ComboBox&quot; &amp;&nbsp;j).OLEFormat.Object<br />
cb.Clear<br />
Next j<br />
<br />
'Clean up<br />
&nbsp;Set cb = Nothing<br />
<br />
I am aware it is possible to clear these combo box by utilising the above with &nbsp;PresentationOpen(ByVal Pres As Presentation) , but this requires an add-in. Is it possible to do this without an add-in? If so, how? Associate it with another event?

Clearing ComboBox in Power point

PowerPoint is a slide show presentation program currently developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides" that may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
