Cor, Peter,
I was assuming that the actual execution of the sound would be on the client
via say JavaScript. But my app would require a large number of wav files
and the selection of which to play at any user ENTER or CLICK would have to
be managed at the server via VB.Net (I was hoping).
I both understand what you are saying about advantages and the limitations
of an Active X control. But I must confess ignorance. I do not have any
media player or any active X controls in my toolbox selection. How do I get
one and info on its use?
Is this something like I would have to deal with some org like Real
Solution's Real Audio? I assume that Real Player is widely distributed and
used. Would they give me a control I could add to the toolbox. Another
question of ignorance. What is the difference between a Active X control
and what is called a Plug-in?
It is obvious that I need more knowledge on this subject. Where do I get
that information or training if necessary. I am very serious about this
effort and will be willing to pay in time or money. I have been working 3
years of my own time on this app to first develop a Windows app on the PC
and now want to implement it instead on the web.
thanks,
hugh

Hugh,
In addition to Peter, I would have a look on Internet for some javascript.
Be aware that the VB code is processed on your server. It has not much
sense to play the sound on that computer in my idea.
I tell this because using JavaScript gives seldom problems on a client
computer. The change that a user is loading an Active X is almost zero if
it is not from companies that are really very trusted to be secure in
this.
