How to Play a Song when I open a Form (1 Viewer)

I'm somewhat new to DB's especially when adding all the neat toys.

I want to have a particular song play when ever a form is opened. How would I go about doing this.

I would even consider having a button to activate the song. Again, how would I go about doing this.

TIA

Thanks Wayne for the reply.

1) I tried entering 'sounds' in the search and came up with lots! of unrelated info. How do I narrow the search since I'm new to this forum?

2) Is it possible to add a button to play the song on a form? I tried putting in the sound file using both hyperlink and OLE. They gave me the sound when I click on it but when I tab to a new record I lost the link/OLE.

3) How do I set up a form so the form when openned plays only the one song. (the sound should not be part of a record...is this correct in order to 'not' lose it when going to different records)

4) If a button is possible then I would need the code for it...i'm new remember...

5) Or do you have another 'simple' suggestion for this simple task I'm needing help on?

TIA

crwc,

ghudson's example on this thread looks easy:

It does not get any easier than this for playing wave files... HTH

Thank you for the code...but forgive me for asking a very dumb question!!!

Where do I put the code? Do I create a button first and paste the code or does it go somewhere else?

Like I said...I'm a beginner!

Thanks again for your very patient help

crwc,

Just go to the database window, choose Modules (New) and
paste the code in and Save the module with some name. This
is a public module and can be called from anywhere in your
database.

You can make a Command Button on a form and in its
OnClick event, you can put: PlayWaveFile_Cord()
