Embedding Windows Media Player

[WIOutdoors]

Has anyone ever embedded a Windows Mediaplayer activeX control in an Access form? I've been playing around with it trying to load an AVI file. I get all sorts of errors involving the ReadyState. Is there a way to embedd the control so it will launch an AVI from a URL during a click event?

Thanks.

My experience with the integration of OCX into Access forms is quite negative. There is always something going wrong and the memory management is often catastrophic. Opening the same form (containing a certain OCX control) several times during an ACCESS session you run into a "Out of memory" error.
I use the "Movie With ACCESS" add-on (www.unsoftwareag.com) to manage and display AVI, MPEG and QTVR (Quicktime).
