Mediaplayer and gotoselected mail problems

[Edi]

Hi,

1.Im having a form which i use to view the e-mail
attachments & having a problem viewing the m-player
(*.WMV, *.mpg etc.)

im using the WindowsMediaPlayer object from vb:

MediaPlayer.URL = 'atachment path goes in here'
MediaPlayer.Play

But nothing works!

2. how do i know which mail is on-select in the inbox when
i open a form (want's to go to that specific mail)

Thanks,
Edi

1) How are you instantiating the MediaPlayer object? How are you getting the attachment path? Is the form published? Does other code on it work?

2) Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)

If you've published the form, that must mean it's an Outlook form, not a VBA form, right? I don't see anything in your code to indicate that you're instantiating an object variable to represent the control. If you're unfamiliar with Outlook form control syntax, see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/propsyntax.htm#unbound
