Hi Tim,

I've used one in an application I'm working on right now. The trick to run it was to use the Visual FoxPro HWND Control to hold reference to the AVI on the form, and the Microsoft MultiMedia Control to play it. The code looks like this:

* Set up and play the avi with the multimedia control

With ThisForm.oleLogo
.hWndDisplay = Thisform.oleFoxHWnd.hWnd
.TimeFormat = 3
.FileName = "logo.avi"
.Command = "Open"
.Command = "Play"
EndWith
