Powerpoint frontend

I have a slide show that has around 100 slides. Basically, these are lyrics
to songs. I want to be able to design a form to allow me to select which
slide I want to go to. I'm basically a newbie with Powerpoint programming.
I do understand some VBA as I have created things for access an excel, just
not PP. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

This comes up often enough that I just cobbled up a small working example:

Fill a listbox with slide titles, make it go to chosen slide when clicked

I'm sure you can smarten it/speed it up.

This is on the right path of what I'm looking for. I actually would like to
have a form start up with a listbox/combobox which would contain a list of
all of the slides. I could then click on the Name in the listbox/combobox
and go to that slide in the presentation without having to actually start the
slide show.

Thanks Steve for the help. It wasn't quite what I was looking for but it put
me on the right track. I have the form doing exactly what I was trying to
do. Now with a few tweeks, I'll be able to open the master presentation, run
the form, then select which slides/songs, and copy them to a second
presentation to run. Thanks.
