Excel VBA with Windows Media Player: Runtime error while getting video timecode

[SamT]

First, I would never use "controls" as a variable name because it is a Key Word in VBA. I suspect that "Media" is also a Key Word.. I suggest "Ctrls" and "MdiaPlyr."

Try using currentPosition, a Double, or currentPositionString, a String, instead of currentPositionTimeCode, also a String. Just to see what happens.

THere is a slim chance that you must use IWMPControls or IWMPControls2.

Sometimes you have to cast many spells to see which one makes the pot boil.
