Hey buddy,

Just add the given code below to see that the path which you have defined is valid or not.And also check for the file extension. Hope it will work
Code:

1.Private Sub Button1_Click()
2.CommonDialog.ShowOpen
3.MMControl.(Name of the file) = CommonDialog.(Name of the file)
4.debug.print MMControl.(Name of the file)
5.MMControl.Wait = True
6.MMControl.Command = "Open"
7.End Sub

Multimedia is certainly a hot topic, because it lets us create an integrated environment of video, sound, still pictures, and text. VBScript gives us access to multimedia through custom controls such as the media control interface (MCI) multimedia control. Let's take advantage of this and create a new Web page, multimed.htm. As we've seen, the multimedia control consists of a set of buttons much like you would see on a CD player.

Thanks.
