[AccessD] Easy way to play audio files from Access form

What's the easiest way to play a short (couple of seconds) audio file from
an Access form? I have Access 2013, 64-bit. This should be so easy. The
closest I've come is using an HTML link to an MP3 file on my desktop, and
then having to go through Microsoft's stupid warning every time that the
file I created with my software on my desktop could contain a virus. Good
grief. It takes longer to get through the unwanted warning than to play the
file. I'd rather have the file in the table, but I couldn't get that to
work, either. It's a simple app to help me learn a foreign language, and I'd
like to have the pronunciation available.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to those who, like me, celebrate it.
