and btw, if you don't qualify the function name with the unit, then the order in which you define units in the uses clause becomes critical.<br />
<br />
<br />
e.g:<br />
<br />
<br />
uses Windows, sysUtils;<br />
<br />
beep; //&lt;---- comes from sys utils.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
uses SysUtils, Windows;<br />
<br />
beep(10, 10); //&lt;---- comes from windows.<br />

Windows.Beep ignores the duration in Windows 95/98.

There seem to be 2 beeps in Delphi 4. &nbsp;Sometimes I have access to one function and not the other. &nbsp;What are the exact circumstances/unit uses that I need to have to control which version of beep I get. &nbsp;Could I potentially be able to have access to both version of beep in the same unit?<br />
<br />
thanks
