Play sound

[aac]

How do I play a sound when I press a commandbutton.
The sound file is on my desktop.

Something like this should do it... Add a command button from the Control
toolbox and pste this code in the sheet (right click the sheet tab and select
view code)...

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" _
(ByVal lpszName As String, hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Public Function PlayWavFile(WavFile As String) As String
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
PlaySound WavFile, 0, SND_ASYNC Or SND_FILENAME
PlayWavFile = ""
End Function

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
PlayWavFile "C:\Windows\Media\Microsoft Office 2000\Chimes.wav"
End Sub
