VBA provides a mechanism for talking between two different applications such as PowerPoint and Access. It's called Automation. From a Powerpoint slide, go into VBA (Alt + F11). Reference Access by clicking on Tools then References and place a check next to Microsoft Access 9.0 Library or whatever version you have. Click OK. You can then use code that uses the Access objects and methods to extract data if you want. This is quite a bit of programming. The best thing to do is buy a book on Microsoft Automation.
