Hello

I have NEVER used Access but have found myself in this forum to solve a
question

I have a languange dictionary with a voice and I wanted to try to find the
sound files and put them on a MP3 Player

The sound files are nowhere to be seen but I did find my way to the program
and a file that opens in Access.

And when you click a word in a column, you get the pronunciation

So I have a question

Where are the sound files or are they generated with code in Access?

If they exist somewhere, how can I get from the column in Access to the
sound files so that I can copy (or convert) them to the MP3 player?

Thanks in advance

More than likely, they are generated by an outside program which is shelled
by Access. If you have a pointer to where this file is on the Internet, I
might be able to answer with more certainty.
 
Hi

Well, the program is installed and not freely available

Looking at the size of the file, I'd guess that the .wav's are somewhere in
there.

Do you believe the Wave files are embedded as OLE objects directly within an
OLE field in a table of your MDB?
Open the table directly from the main Database container window. What does
it say in the field containing a WAVE file?

Hi

Not sure what you mean by opening directly from main database window but in
the table, it says

'sound wave'

and if I click on it, it changes to

'Sound (OLE2)

Does this help?

Thanks
