playing a sound using MMC, the second time no sound

[gobblegob]

Hi guys,
I am playing a sound using MMC on a form that pops up. Ok here is the problem it plays fine the first time but when the form loads the second time
it plays no sound.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    psSoundFile = "c:\alarm.wav"
    MMControl1.DeviceType = "WAVEAUDIO"
    MMControl1.FileName = psSoundFile
 
     CmdStop.Enabled = True
        If MMControl1.Mode = mciModeNotOpen Then MMControl1.Command = "open"
 
        MMControl1.Command = "play"
End Sub
 
Private Sub StopWav()
    MMControl1.Command = "stop"
    MMControl1.Command = "close"
    MyMessage.Hide   
End Sub
 
Private Sub CmdStop_Click()
    StopWav
End Sub

Thanks for any help guys

What do you mean by when the form loads the second time

ok i' explain better, i have form1 and form2.
form2 is set to Show on a timer, and when it show's it plays a sound
problem is when this is repeated it play's no sound

Are you loading the form second time or just using Show and Hide methods ?

Then try running the code in Form_Activate event not in Load event.
