You should close the sound if you want to open it again:

With MMControl1
    .Notify = False
    .Wait = True
    .Shareable = False
    .DeviceType = "WaveAudio"
    .FileName = "C:\unzipped\dopewars\uhoh.wav"
    .Command = "Open"
    .Command = "Play"
    .Command = "Close"
End With

when i add the mmcontrol1.Command = "CLose" it wont' even play the file....if i take it out....it plays the file once....and thats it! Do u know how to fix it?

I don't know the answer to your problem (I've never used an MMControl), but you can play .wav files using the API function PlaySound. Visit this site for details on VB implemetation:
http://www.vbapi.com/ref/p/playsound.html

Also, to put code into your messages on this site, you almost had it right. Use...

{code}
Your
code
here
{/code}

except replace the curly braces with square brakets [] around the "code" and "/code" statements.

Try this:

    With MMControl1
        .Command = "Open"
        .Notify = True
        .Wait = True
        .Shareable = False
        .DeviceType = "WaveAudio"
        .FileName = "C:\winnt\media\office97\Whoosh.wav"
        .Command = "Play"
        .Command = "Close"
    End With
