"Peter Nolan" <peter.nolan40@gmail.com> wrote in message news:491f49f4-a678-4420-b0e4-935b398adc7b@a40g2000vbu.googlegroups.com... > Beep 200,5000 . . . something I forgot to mention in my previous response is that you can use the alternative MessageBeep function to play either the default beep sound or one of the other system sounds, but they are under the control of the user and will often produce completely different sounds on different machines. The system default beep for example can be anything from a simple short Beep to a five minute rendition of God Save The Queen! If you want a simple beep waveform over which you want to have control over both the frequency and the duration (which is what it appears you want) then my previous suggestion is probably the best option. One thing is for certain, and that is if you are after a Beep sound which will be heard on all machines whether the user has his system sounds muted or not then you are out of luck, unless of course you want to add code that will "unmute" the system sounds and set them to your desired volume level. It is in fact possible to achieve that in VB6, unless of course the machine does not actually have any kind of sound card or if the speakers are either not connected or manually switched off, but it is not something I would advise because it will almost certainly annoy the user enough to make him throw your program in the bin ;-) Mike
