excel video

I want to run an avi file from within excel. I have seen it done but cannot
get it to run. Can anyone help?

I haven't done this myself, but here's a couple of ideas.

1. Look at the ShellExec API call if you want to run it in the default video
player as an external app.
2. You can probably embed a Media Player 6 Activex control on a sheet and
you can certainly embed it on a form.
