Subaddress property in PowerPoint 2002

[Rodney99734]

I have PowerPoint 2002 SP 2 installed on a Win XP machine.

I have a file with hyperlinks between the slides that I need to be able to
update with VB. The problem occurs when I insert an extra slide slide - the
links still work (and look OK when you do Action Settings), but the
subaddress property of the hyperlink doesn't update. Try this:
1. Make a new file with two slides.
2. Place an object on the first one
3. Action Settings > Mouse click > Hyperlink to > Slide 2
It works when you run the slideshow
4. Insert a new slide between the two already there.
The link on the first slide will still work, and go to Slide 3. Tools >
Action settings shows that the link has been updated to point to Slide 3.
5. Write a bit of code to look at the properties of the hyperlink, eg
Sub LookAtHyperlinks()
MsgBox
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(1).ActionSettings(ppMouseClick).Hyperlink.SubAddress
End Sub
That shows the links points to Slide 2, still. That is, the Subaddress
property has not been updated.

Rodney,
The last part of the sub address property refers to the slide title.
PowerPoint specifies a default title incase the slide does not have a title
shape. Also even if it has a title this information is not updated. Take a
look at this article: Hyperlink .SubAddress - How to interpret it -
