How to I write an event procedure in Access 2002 that will open a.

[Swan Girl]

I am creating an Access database of my music library (close to 2000 albums)
Within this database, I have all kinds of information including a picture of
the album art. I was wondering if it was possible to create an event
procedure on the double click command that could open winamp and (even
better!) open the actual album if I input the proper folder location, etc.
Can't seem to find anything about this on the microsoft knowledgebase...

if you have a path to mp3 file - you can start it playing using ShellExecute
API, like here:

Hi,

If Winamp is set as your default player for sound files, and the textbox
is bound to a field that contains the entire path to the file, try
something like

Application.FollowHyperlink Me.ActiveControl.Value
