Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()

OLE1.Action = 7

End Sub

ok i first tested it with a .wav and it worked, and now i just tested it with an .mp3 and it seems to work as well

hope this works mate

its telling your form that onload() play your OLE Object

also it repeats

thats your OLE object doing its job, it references a media player to play the file for you instead of the program,, here when i get back ill hook you up with some code so you can embed the file into the program and it will play when you run the program, it wont use OLE

this shows you how to implement sounds for user interaction, just remember you want it to play when your application starts so some initialization coding will be in

Private Sub Form_Load()

to achieve it

hope this helps letme know how it goes
