I have a Powerpoint slide that contains textboxes. I would like to link those textboxes with a filtered view of a data table in Access.
For ex, if I had a TaskList application in Access that displayed tasks with different priorities and affectations; is there a way to open that file, select that view, and filter it according to a vba (or other) onclick button event triggered from my Powerpoint presentation?

It's certainly possible to get Access data from Powerpoint.
You need to make sure you have the correct references set to the
Microsoft DAO Object Library
in your VBA project.Then, to populate your textbox in your PowerPoint presentation, you can call something like the following function, say, to return a string containing a list of Tasks matching the given TaskPriority.
