[Lexicog] problem with lexique pro

[Crockett]

What version of Lexique Pro do you have? When you double click on a wav file
from something like Windows explorer, does some program play that sound
file? Can you copy one record from the database which has a sound file and
paste it into your response? Make sure all the fields are displayed -
especially the field the sound file is associated with.

They are WAV files. I have entered the name of the file in the field when I
tried the direct links (putting the files directly into the same directory
as the database, for example: 

 

\sf napaisi.wav

 

or the entire file path when I tried the new directory:

 

\sf c:\Lexiquedata\napaisi.wav

 

 

Neither of these worked.

Lexique Pro or are you importing data from another program? And what exactly
have you written into the data for that field? For instance, I have this for
sound files:

 

\sf s-abran.mp3

 

These sound files are in the folder where I keep the database file, too.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with Lexique Pro and I'm hoping someone on the list can
help me or point me to an information source.

I'm creating a sample dictionary for a Shoshone tribe who wants to make a
talking dictionary, I think Lexique is an appropriate tool for them to use,
at least for the display. I've created a sample with 5 entries with
pictures, sound files, and example sentence sound files. Everything is
working fine except the sound files will not play. I have tried various file
paths, including placing the sound file in the same folder as the database
and using only the filename, and also placing all of the files in a separate
folder directly under the c: drive to make the path simple, but neither of
these caused the sound files to play. However, the pictures (which are in
the same directory) displayed fine with both of these, so I think the
problem is not with the file path itself. I really don't know what the
problem is, so I'd appreciate any ideas.

Best,
Naomi
