Windows Media Problem

[jnash]

im recalling the string out of a access db
the value is ""C:\Documents and Settings\halo9\Desktop\Boom.mp3"" its called "floc"

i generate a new media player box

                Dim audio1 As New AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer
                audio1.URL = floc
                audio.Add(audio1)
                audio1.Parent = form

it erroes at the URL part and says

"'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' "


any ideas ?? thanks

Add the control to the form before you set the URL.
