Joel,

Thanks for your responses. I have learned about putting a WMP onto a
userform, initiating a video with a shell, and playing a sound. I have found
quite a bit about commands using Jave script, which seem to have the
functionallity I need and more. I may ultimately need to learn more about
this and follow your suggestion regarding a webpage.

I am suprised that such a simple thing is not possible to do. Any further
words of wisdom would be welcome.

Thanks again.

The only way I believe it can be done is through a DLL. Depending on
the player you are using there is a DLL on you PC. For example the
windows player would be in the c:\windows folder. You can define the
Library call to any of the DLL entry points. I haven't done this my
selef but did find websites with examples. any example in C Language or
VB 6 using the dll can be converted to VBA.

Another approach would be to build a webpage with the controls. Then
from VBA using an IE explorer application access the webpage. Ive had
people ask me how to run java scripts in VBA and my answer was to create
a webpage. So if you find any Java code then it could be put into a
webpage.
