Inserting a video

[alireza1989@hot]

Hi
I really need to insert a movie in my database. I have tried inserting a Windows Media Player object in a form, but I dont know how to link it to a movie on my computer. Please help me with this. By the way I'm using DAO, if that helps at all.

Please help me as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry
Thanks in advance

If you cannot do an OLE insert then I don't know how to do this. Have you tried OLE insert?

Yeah, I tried OLE insert, but then I dont know how to link it to a movie on my computer

Normally, you have to have the appropriate association for the movie.

1. Can you double-click on the movie file stand-alone and get it to play? (If not, you don't have a needed association.)

2. There is also the issue that Access doesn't always know every file type.

3. Inserting a movie into your database is specific enough, but still can be multi-valued. If you EMBED the movie, I'm not sure the OLE manager can see the file type any more and recognize the association.
