I downloaded the "latest" MCIAAP.DRV from this forum's library, and it is the same as my current version, but I also got some documentation which I didn't have before so I thought I might be heading in the right direction. Now I seem to be having a problem with the syntax for the MCI commands listed in the documentation file supplied. Such as "OPEN PARENT HWND" is listed as an MCI command so I send "OPEN PARENT 1234" (or whatever the real HWnd is). Is this incorrect (well I know it is because of the MCI notify message that is returned says "MCI device cannot interpret command" (or something similar). So what is the correct syntax? Can anyone give me an example Thanks Jerry Quartley

MCIAAP won't accept a parent HWnd; it is designed to be its own parent no matter what you do.
