The program returns a 277 error "The MCI device you are using does not recognize the specified command" when it is run. This occurs when a basic open statment is used.

DECLARE Statements used in Form.Init


DECLARE INTEGER mciSendString ;
IN WinMM.DLL ;
STRING cMCIString,;
STRING @cRetString,;
INTEGER nRetLength,;
INTEGER hInstance

DECLARE INTEGER mciGetErrorString ;
IN WINMM.DLL ;
INTEGER nErrorno, ;
STRING @cBuffer, ;
INTEGER nBufSize


Open Code
cCmd = ('OPEN "' + cFileName + '" alias FoxMedia' + ;
' style child parent ' + ALLTRIM(STR(cur_window)) + ' WAIT')
THISFORM.doMCI(cCmd)


PLAY Code
THISFORM.doMCI("PLAY FoxMedia")



DoMCI Code
LPARAMETERS cMCIcmd
cRetString = space(80)
nRetValue = mciSendString(cMCIcmd,@cRetString,len(cRetString),0)
cErr = THIS.getMCIerror(nRetValue)
IF nRetValue > 0
RETURN CeRR
ENDIF
RETURN TRIM(STRTRAN(cRetString,chr(0),""))


Any Ideas?

Thanks
