Excel opening media player

[kris king]

Hi All,

I’ve created an SQL report that once run is exported to excel, i
the document i have a column that has link's to .WAV files of cal
recordings that are archived.

The problem I’m having is the recording's are playing directl
through excel and not popping media player.

On short recordings this is OK but on the longer ones I need to be abl
to skip through the call.

Any suggestions as I have scoured the web and can’t find anything

Thanks in advance

Might be a media player problem ? Suggest installing VLC, setting .wav files
to play with that and trying that?

Hi thanks for your reply

There doesn’t seem to be a problem with media player, when i run the we
based SQL report i can click the link and it pops media player.

It just won’t do it when it’s been exported to excel, which leads me t
believe it something to do with exce

Hmmm. Iheard recently of someone with a video link in a PP presentation.
They copied the presentation to another computer, but the video was missing.
Turns out the link expected the video file to be in the same directory as
the presentation (so maybe it wasn't a link, but more a *relative* link).
Might this be a similar problem ? Try moving a .wav file to the directory
where the XL file is ?

Good luck.
