Excel: play video clip using Excel macro VB?

Question

can Excel macro play a video clip file? I meant when I click on a radio button in Excel, the video clip file will start playing. any simple VB code?

Answer 1

There's no simple code for that. You'd have to write code to open another program and start the video clip file in the other program. Or you might possibly be able to create a userform and and have video open in the userform. Neither would be all that easy. Have you thought about providing a link to the file that someone could click on? That would be much easier to do. It would open the file and do the same thing.

From the menu bar go to:

Insert > Hyperlink...

Then pick the file. If you want other people to be able to open the video file (being as they probably will not be on your computer), you'll want to place the file in a shared folder that the other users can access so they can open the file.
