John-
I'm also a beginner, and also working on an application that plays videos. I
found that it was very simple to download MS's WMP SDK (or named something
like that, I'm not at home so I don't have access to my PC to check). From
there, I added a WMP control on my userform, and can easily load and play
video clips (AVI clips, in my case) right in my application with a few lines
of code.
Depending on what you are trying to do, it may be easier than trying to work
with an external player. If you provide more detail about what you are
trying to accomplish, the MVPs and other gurus here have been very helpful
and can probably give you specific advice. If I understand correctly that
you want to play a video, close the video window, then close your program-
if you embed the video player in your userform, then you've just saved a
step or two.
Best,
Keith

Okay,
What I have is a button that when clicked, playes a video in the default
player (Usually WMP) then closes the form.
I am using ProcessStart then Me.Close
How can I do the same thing, however play the video full screen, and then
close prior to the form closing.
I am an absolute beginer and have only begun to learn VB. I will need the
simplest of instructions.
What I have learned is thanks to the knowledgable folks on this board.
Thank you for your help
