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.


[CODE=vb]Private Sub Form_Load()
psSoundFile = "c:\alarm.w av"
MMControl1.Devi ceType = "WAVEAUDIO"
MMControl1.File Name = psSoundFile

CmdStop.Enabled = True
If MMControl1.Mode = mciModeNotOpen Then MMControl1.Comm and = "open"

MMControl1.Comm and = "play"
End Sub

Private Sub StopWav()
MMControl1.Comm and = "stop"
MMControl1.Comm and = "close"
MyMessage.Hide
End Sub

Private Sub CmdStop_Click()
StopWav
End Sub[/CODE]

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.
