[RESOLVED] Still not rid of the XP warning! Help!!

I’m using a ‘Ole1.CreateLink (Path) followed by a DoVerb to start a .wmv video file. Before it will run, I get a ‘File Open’ warning as though WindowsXP is warning me about a dangerous download from the web.

Any Ideas on how to stop this? Particularly on my user’s machine. I can’t ask the user to lower any security levels.

I tried ‘CreateEmbedded’ and it worked for small files but when I used my 50Mb wmv it ran out of memory.

The 50Mb wmv started out as a 1Gig avi created in Adobe Premier. I loaded it into Microsoft Movie Maker and re-saved as a 50Mb wmv.

When it was a 1Gig avi, CreateEmbedded did not blow the memory, but when it was a 50 Mb wmv, it did!!! STRANGE!!!!

can u please post your code? we'll be happy to help u out

It couldn't be simpler!

You will need a large .wmv file. My problem video is 50Mb.


Start of Vb Code:
Project1.Form1.OLE1.CreateLink ("C:\Video Files\BookVideo.wmv")
Project1.Form1.OLE1.DoVerb
End of VB Code

The Ole1 is a Media Clip

Help with this will let me sleep nights!!!

Are you just trying to display the video in the form? If so just use the Windows Media Player control (Project -> Components -> Windows Media Player). No security warnings :)

Thanks!! It was so simple, I feel like a twit. How do I say Resolved?
