Record an audio file when a command button is clicked on a form

[SteveL]

Is there a way to record an audio file when a command button is clicked on a form? And then once the audio file has been recorded, make it a part of the form's record? Maybe as an attachment of some type?

In other words, the user clicks a command button, an audio recorder opens, the user records the audio file and then when done, that audio file is stored to a directory on the computer. Then the audio file path is stored in a text box on the form. The user then could double click the text box to play back the audio file at any time.

Anyone?
