[AccessD] Embedding a WAV file

A.D:

Well that does work, but instead of playing it straight through the speakers 
like the function:

Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" _
    (ByVal IpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, _
    ByVal dwFLags As Long) As Long

does, it invokes a player - in my case RealPlayer.  Do you know of a way to 
use the function with an embedded wav file?

Rocky,

    Sample code given below, pertains to bound OLE control named Drg. Record 
source for the form is a table having wav sounds stored in this field. 
CmdSound is the name of command button used for playing the sound pertaining 
to current record.

    It may please be noted that when the sound clip is played, the focus 
gets captured by the OLE control.

Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

==============================
Private Sub CmdSound_Click()
On Error Resume Next
    If Drg.OLEType = acOLENone Then
        MsgBox "No Recording"
    Else
        Drg.Action = acOLEActivate
    End If          'Drg
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

  Darren:

  When I do the installable run-time I think I can include my WAV file and 
it
  will be transparent to the user. For beta testing I need to send them just
  one file.  So I'm still looking for a way to do this.

  I did insert-->Object-->from file and inserted the wav file in an Unbound
  Object Frame.  But getting it to play in the On Click events of other
  controls, like command buttons, is the next problem.  And then, I would
  probably have to insert this UOF in every form.

  Is there maybe a way of putting it into a field in a table and running it
  from there so it could be run from any form?

  TIA
