>Hi,
>I need to write a system that allows spoken words to be stored in a table, one word per row, and played back. I have setup a test table with a general field, and have used the Windows sound recorder to record some spoken words, and copied them via the clipboard to the general field, one by one. This works but is very time consuming, so would like to write a form to make it easier. The only documentation I've found that helps are samples that play or record sound in individual FILES. Because I will need about 1400 recorded words, keeping them in individual dedicated files would be impractical, I think. Is there a way to associate a sound recording or playback activex with a general field? Then my table would have 1400 rows.

Chris,
As Tore said avoid general field and use a memo or blob instead (Whole 1400 words and their corresponding binary recording might be stored in a single XML).
If those words are in English then you might as well just store the words and let speech API say them for you. ie:

loSpeak = CREATEOBJECT("SAPI.SPVoice")
loSpeak.Speak("Hi Chris, I can speak. Avoid general fields please.")
