Ok, that was the problem. &nbsp;It works now. &nbsp;There was no default sound assigned. &nbsp;I never unassigned it, so XP must be default without it. &nbsp;Strange. &nbsp;I guess I better use some type of play command or api or something in case another user has the same problem.<br />
<br />
Anyway...Thank you!<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

You're very welcome.<br />
<br />
You could, of course, determine if a sound file had been defined (by reading the system registry) &amp;/or the actual file can be found in the specified location, and if either conditions are not met, then look for the first &quot;.wav&quot; file &amp;&nbsp;assign it, or use a different approach as you suggested above.<br />
<br />
Good luck.<br />

When I enter a beep command, nothing happens. &nbsp;No sound at all.<br />
All the other windows sounds work fine, but when I enter the beep command in my app, it makes no sound.<br />
<br />
Can anybody tell me what I'm missing?<br />

Why does beep not work

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
