I agree, this is a pretty neat tool, used it myself to meet some goals at work.

One note though, my end product had to be published on a webserver to be distributed throughout our company. When opened from the hyperlink (not downloaded and then opened), the code to transition between sheets would not work. I wound up saving the presentation as web page and then adding VB script code to the pages to manipulate the slide show and agent character.

Whew...didnt mean to be so wordy.

Hiya

Its good to get some feedback from these posts I do. Many just get 'lost in time'

Agent 2.0 seems to be getting a fair few updates lately. Most I've put in Developemnt.
