Is it possible to play and control a video file, (m-peg, .avi) in

Not sure if you can do it on a Worksheet. You could use ShellExecute
(search google for help on it) to launch the default media player and play a
movie. On a UserForm, you could try right-clicking the controls toolbox and
selecting Additional Controls. I had one on my machine named "Windows Media
Player". Once you put it on the form, you can double-click the Custom
property and set the filename/URL and other things.
