Default .Avi video's and Excel

Thank you John.
Go the .Avi to play in a Screen Sized U/F.
Is there anyway to Have the Userform "Unload me" when the Avi finishes ?

Load your form with whatever method you choose, then on the activate place
the addy like this, this is just a sample from a system avi on my comp

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "C:\Documents and Settings\BIS Student\My
Documents\My Universal Skins\mySkins\161.avi"

End Sub

I am using Excel XP.
I added the WMP option but how do i set it to play a .Avi when the userform initializes ?

Not sure EXACTLY what you mean, or what version you have, but if you go to
your userform right-click the toolbox and additional controls there is a
windows media player control that is very easy/intuitive to use if you have
it.

I have developed quite a complex Exel workbook application.
I have used a simply ScreenCapture program, to record(.avi) how to use the various components of
the
Workbook.

What would be the BEST way to have these Video's (.avi) files associated to the Workbook and run
if
needed?

Can Excel run the .Avi from a Forms Button ?
How do i go about this if it can?

Regards
