Start video clip from excel?

[DerekF]

Hi All,

I currently have a spreadsheet that, when a certain boring, monotonous task is done and the user hits save, I have VBA code that plays a funny audio file. Can excel play a video file? I have tried to get it to play one but have had no success.

Any idea?

Derek

hi. If you can convert the video into a flash video format then you can embed this in the workbook and you can even call it up dynamically from a macro as well. Hopefully that gives you starting point to get the ideas flowing.

What type of video file and will you be giving this file to any one else to use.
