Unless you want to force the sound you do no need to do this. Windows will play the appropriate sound depending upon the icon you set for the msgbox. The sounds are set up under the control panel on the user PC and are set with certain defaults. For example if you set the msgbox to vbcritical you will get the sound associated with that, or you can set it to vbquestion and get the one for that.

Msgbox "This is a critical message box", vbokonly or vbcritical

If the users have turned off sounds then they want the sound off and you should honor that

Hi,
Another option is to go in for some API work, if you are into finding varities on 'beeps'. You will find all the details in MSDN. I don't remember which function, but there are excellent search functionallty built-in. I beleive that hardly a few people would remember the exact 'type signature' of the functions.

Try them. One more thing : the API functions exist as DLL's, so you need to se also : the Declare command. This too you will find in MSDN. I believe it has 8 or 9 parameters. (most probably).

Bye.

Hi everyone, Let's see, now. This question is about the capabilities of ANSI C++. I want to write and compile code in ANSI C++ that, when compiled, will make the computer speaker beep; or, at least, SHOULD make the computer speaker beep. I know that whether the computer speaker actually beeps or not is largely dependent on the OS I'm using. But I'm not so much concerned about that (at this stage). I just want to know if ANSI C++...

I've got a YES/NO section of a report I'm making. Depending on certain values, I want to circle either YES or NO.

I've tried right clicking and setting background to transparent but still no luck. The thing...

My main form has tab-pages. On each tabbed page is a subform control containing a different subform. When a user selects a specific tab and begins to edit a record, I need a way of preventing the user from clicking on another Tab. I don't want to make the other tabs invisible. I tried setting the subForm so that the user is in Me.Modal=True during the edit, but when this happens - everything becomes modal (ie the MainForm/Subform),...

I'm making a program that will convert decimal inputs (in this case, in inches) and output a fractional answer. At the moment, I'm only able to output the fractional answer in three parts: A whole number text box, a numerator text box, and a denominator text box. I realize that this is probably the closest I'll get to having fractions displayed in VB, so that's no big deal. I'm able to simplify most numbers with some code I've written,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
