What would the code be to have a .mp3 (embedded or a set path) to start playing when the database is opened? Just looking to add a little pizazz to the database.

P.S. There is only one form which is set to automatically open.
 
Given that you have a form that opens when DB is started, you could put some code in that form's On Load event. Check this thread for a discussion of playing MP3's
 
Have you checked with your users to see if they think it would be a lovely idea? I know for me, I hate it when any program or website starts playing something which can, depending on how my speakers are set, irritate those around me.

I'm not saying you can't do it, but I think you might want more input from those who are going to be using the database if you aren't the only one going to be using it. User Interface items and aesthetics can be fairly tricky and you don't want to annoy people where they don't want to use it.
 
I'll echo SOS's comments. I find pointless sound very irritating. When I encounter web sites with sound my instant response is the Back button.

Ditto with pointless flashy animated introduction sequences.
