Not sure. Do you care to tell us a little more about mcisendstring?

mcisendstring?

mciendstring is a system call part of the MCI API(MULTIMEDIA CONTROL INTERFACE.... it takes a list of command strings to make these calls.... i get some help on it from the MSDN.. maybe more can be read there.. examples" mcisendstring("set CDAudio door open", Sring.Empty,0,0)"=== this will open a CD tray....
