Windows Media Player Control

[dalematt]

Background: running Access 2010 on Windows 7. Recently switched from Windows XP and Access 2003.



Problem: Have mdb db with a form that contains Windows Media Player control used for playing wav files. Until recent upgrade to Win7/Access 2010 this worked fine. Now it doesn't: when I click the "play" button on the control it displays "Opening media..." and then... nothing, it returns to "Ready".

The wav file to be displayed is set with this code: "player.URL = [directory] & "\" & [videofilename]", where player is set to the windowsmediaplayer control object. The original reference "Windows Media Player" (\windows\system32\wmp.dll) has not been changed.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Happy to say this problem has resolved itself: I re-booted my machine (usually step one for me but not this time) and it worked fine. No idea why but I'm not complaining.
