Sub CheckInPresentation(strPresentation As String)
If Presentations(strPresentation).CanCheckIn = True Then
Presentations(strPresentation).CheckIn
MsgBox strPresentation & " has been checked in."
Else
MsgBox strPresentation & " cannot be checked in at this time. Please try again later."
End If
End Sub
