Hi Paul & Joan Ann,
Now I'm probably just being a little woolly this wet and miserable Wednesday
in January but only just one or two questions please.
The tutorial is wonderful to have and well put together but could you let me
know at what point media player opens or needs to be open?
I have two other players installed so how can I be sure that it is media
player that opens for me?
Many thanks.
All the best,
Tony Sweeney. an----- Original Message -----
