How do I use VBA to play sound clip from website?
Hi,
I found the instructions on how to play a wav file from my hard drive but have a new challenge. I'm curious how I can play a sound from a popular sound-clip website from within VBA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH7EqDIPfpA Thanks, MikeZz |

The short answer is that you can't. The longer answer is that you
can't in VBA because you'd have to use a stream, which isn't supported in VBA. You can do it in NET, but not VBA. You could, perhaps, download the file (assuming you have a URL that points to a file, not a streaming object) to the hard drive and then play the sound from the local drive. See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DownloadFile.aspx for VBA code to download a file from a URL.
