What part are you needing help with?

Do you have a specific question about how to do something with your database?

Without knowing a lot more detail, like exact how you are using the query, I am not sure how to help you.

You will need to someway get the file path from the query (recodeset, bound form, etc) and using VBA code to set the property in the control for the path.

i think that the sample that i attach will guide you to my question

See if this is what you want. I used the Docmd.OpenForm's OpenArgs parameter to pass the file to play
