You may be better off embedding media player. Right click on your toolbox and select Chose Items (you may have to wait a while for the next dialog!). Click on the COM Components tab and scroll down and select Windows Media Player. Drag and drop (& resize) a WMP onto your form. Set the URL property to point to your file and you're done. Dave BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn) Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)

I have threads update my GUI all the time, but they have to be done properly. I don't see how an event would help avoid using a thread.

you should keep doing that: parent form & child forms.(there´s a great article here about that, don´t remember the link) search for "transfer data between forms", if you want you will get lot´s of intel, i have downloaded samples of code on it, but i think more on : parent form & child forms or 1 form & userforms trigger the load of different userforms inside the form. is there a major reason for many forms? that´s my advice :-D nelsonpaixao@yahoo.com.br trying to help & get help

Thanks. Ok, this far I can only write and design a program using one form, how can I have more than a form and call them inter-changebly?am kinda struggling with this as of now. :((
