Hi, Thanks so much for this help. When I use your code, it gives me a
runtime error of: Line 38 Unterminated String Constant

Here is my actual code and I put (line 38) out to the right in parentheses.
Do you see the mistake I've made? I don't. Your help is so appreciated!!

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<title>Database Interface</title>
<bgsound src="Music/Alone.wma" loop="-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<p><b><font size="+3" color="#000080">Database Interface</font></b></p>
<p><a href="Sample_interface/Customers/results_page.asp"
target="_top">Results Page</a><br />

</body>

</html>

<span id="sound"></span>
<input type="button" value="Play/Stop Music"
onclick="playSound('Alone.wma')">

<head><script type="text/javascript">
function playSound(fname)
{
var x = document.getElementById("sound")
x.innerHTML = (!x.innerHTML ) ? '<embed src="' + fname + '" loop=false
autostart=true hidden>' : '' (line 38)
}
</script>
</head>

Well, the code after </html> belongs partly in the <head> section and partly
in the <body> section

Re error in line 38.
This line is split when posted, but I think you had
fname + '" loop=false
when you should have had
fname + "' loop=false

This is very difficult to pick up. The first line reads, between + and loop:
single quote then double quote
which is incorrect

The corrected line reads:
double quote then single quote.

Try this (by cutting and pasting the code)

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<title>Database Interface</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function playSound(fname)
{
var x = document.getElementById("sound")
x.innerHTML = (!x.innerHTML )
            ?   '<embed src="' + fname + '"'
/* "' is double then single^                    ^ '"' is single then double
then single */
              + ' loop=false autostart=true hidden>'

: ''

/* ^ '' is two singles */
}
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<span id="sound"></span>
<input type="button" value="Play/Stop Music"
onclick="playSound('Alone.wma')">



</body>
</html>

This worked for me, using a file named 'minuet.mid'. Yours is a .wma file,
but if the player recognises it, it should play OK
