    Use the Animation control:

    Code:
    Animation1.Open "Graphics\Avis\Download.avi"
Animation1.Play

    You should be aware of that the animation control can't play .avi files that contains any sound. The control is some what limited.

    It is enough to play the simple .avi files that comes with VB though.

    Best regards

    If you would like sound, use the Multimedia Control.

    Code:
    MMControl1.Command = "Open"
MMControl1.DeviceType = "AVIVideo"
MMControl1.Command = "Play"

    I think you can use mciSendString API for that.
