I am getting the Automation Error

That's almost certainly because the file you are attempting to play does not exist. Post the *exact* code you are currently using. As far as I recall you are using the following line to play the file:

Player1.RenderFile sPlayer & sSelection

If that is the case then try replacing it with this line:

MsgBox FileExists(sPlayer & sSelection)

.. . . after first adding the following function to your code:

Private Function FileExists(fname As String) As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
FileExists = (GetAttr(fname) And vbDirectory) = vbNormal
End Function

Does the message box report a True or a False?
