Multiple Paths through a Presentation

[dukeofearl61]

I'm just getting beyond basic PowerPoint and have an application that needs to work as described below. Would appreciate comment on whether it might be easily possible and how to do it...

I want to have a starting slide with several buttons that would take the user through various slide sub-sets from the full set. Slides could be used in more than one of the sub-sets so simply choosing the next slide jump from the one currently showing would not be feasible.

My thought is to have some sort of lists or a database driven from the starting selection buttons that will call the right sequence for each of the sub-sets.

Is that possible without overly complex VB scripting (and still for, example being able to use fades and the like for slide changes)?
