Manage and run a WMP Playlist in Excel
On the control toolbaox there is a hammer and wrench icon. I you click it you
will get a list of controls. WMP is listed. Select it and you can draw an instance of it on your spreadsheet as an embeded object. Double clicking it exposes it's events in VBA... -- HTH...

Manage and run a WMP Playlist in Excel
This opens WMP for me.
Sub WMP_Run() On Error Resume Next Shell ("C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe"), _ vbNormalFocus If Err < 0 Then _ MsgBox "WMP is not installed on your computer." End Sub Where you want to go from here is not clear to me.
