Doug,
I have not really used this control, just playing around when I saw it had
that event, which seemed applicable.
I have not updated the Media Player for a while (saw no need), so my ocx is
marked as version "6.4.9.1129"
So seems like that event has been removed in later versions and is now
"Reserved For Future Use".

From your link then, it looks like you need to check for .PlayState=8
<MediaEnded in the PlayStateChange events.

Nick,

I was reading along here and fooling around with this control. I tried
the
EndOfStream event and it didn't work - the code never gets there. I
looked
on MSDN at this Media Player 11 page
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa392418.aspx and it says
EndOfStream is "reserved for future use." I'm using XL 2003 on win XP.
Anyways it sure sounds like the right event, so hopefully it works for
Corey.

Corey,
This seems to work:

Private Sub MediaPlayer1_EndOfStream(ByVal Result As Long)
Unload Me
End Sub

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

Corey....
