Sound Effect

[Stockwell43]

Hello,

I was wondering if it were possible to have a sound effect when the main
form opens?

Example: I have an Auction Database and when someone opnes the main form I
would like a sound of an auctioneers hammer or like a crowd of people at an
event or something like that.

Thanks!!

Assuming you've got the sound in a WAV file, see
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0011.htm at "The Access Web" for how to
play it.

If you've got it in a MP3 file, see my November, 2004 "Access Answers"
column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access". You can download the column
(and sample database) for free at

You can do it with an API call, as shown here :

How come the Insert Object thing doesn't do it? It's got media clip and Wav
in the list.
So far, all that seems to do is to insert a naff icon. The only thing I've
got to actually work with it is the Insert Picture
