Mediaplayer object on form

S

Simon Gutteridge

Please help! I have a mediaplayer activex on a form. In order to keep with
the layout and design, I would like to be able to hide it, and just add a
couple of buttons to stop and start the file the user selects from a list.
Every time the user updates the list I've got the following:

DoCmd.Requery "picked"
Me!WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = Replace(DLookup("[Path] ", "[tblTracks]",
"[tblTracks]![Counter] =[lister]"), "#", "")
Me!WindowsMediaPlayer1.settings.autoStart = false

which works fine. However, the "play" button on the form has the following:

Me!WindowsMediaPlayer1.Controls.play

and every time I try to press it, I get the error message "Object does not
support this property or method".

It is driving me absolutely insane! Any help would really be very
appreciated (by me).

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Hi,
try to write like this:

Me!WindowsMediaPlayer1.Object.Controls.play

with Me!WindowsMediaPlayer1 you refer to control, containing activex object,
and to refer to object right syntax is Me!WindowsMediaPlayer1.Object
