QuickTime Control 2.0 and FBX

[Petar]

Hello,

I am trying to playback Autodesk FBX using Apple QuickTime Control 2.0. I
already have FBX plugin for QuickTime installed and I can play FBX files
without any problems using standalone QuickTime player. However when I place
QuickTime Control on Access form and load FBX file only blank form is
displayed.
Here are the steps I used to do this

1. Open new empty form
2. From toolbox select Apple QuickTime Control 2.0
3. Insert QuickTime Control in to the form
4. Open QuickTime Control properties and set path of my FBX file to FileName
or URL property

Regular movies like .mov or .avi play normally using this method but FBX
doesn't.
Is there any additional steps that would solve this problem?

Thanks,

Petar

If you don't REALLY need to play the movie inside of your form,
consider running the file using the ShellExecute windows API, with the
Open verb. More about ShellExecute is here:

Thanks Tom for the help. I restarted my machine and now FBX file magically
works fine inside QuckTime Control.
