I have be researching this for on and off for a couple of weeks and everything i find is for hand helds. I orginally used vb .net to open sound recorder to record dictation. But i guess that was way to many steps. What is needed in something i can use in my windows form in vb .net so i can control the location and name of the wav file that is being recorded, instead of leaving that up to the user. I have look all over if anybody has any ides or can point me in the right direction it would be greately appericated.
