I have a form which lists a set of media files which can be various type including mpg files
I want to be able to click on the file name and play the file
I thought windows media player would be the best option to show all the different file types
I have had a dig around a come up with these two options but I get an error with both
The shell method says the file is not recognized but the file is definietly in the path specified
with wmp object give this error:
method "FullScreen" of object 'IWMPPLayer4' failed
Dim wmp As WindowsMediaPlayer
Dim file As String
Set wmp = CreateObject("WMplayer.ocx")
file = Item.Key
'confirms correct file is to be displayed
MsgBox file
'Shell ("C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" & file & "")
With wmp
.FullScreen = True
.URL = file
.Controls.Play
End With
The object must be there as I get all the methods listed when I use with wmp.
Any ideas :think:
