Syntax for sounds in macros

[John Doue]

Could anyone tell me where to look? I wish to have macros play sounds
and cannot seem to find the relevant info.

You need to use a sound API.

Sorry, your answer is a little cryptic, could you please elaborate? Thanks

Utilizing VBA and a sound API requires a little more elaboration than
I can accomplish in a newsgroup post.

(Not to mention the last time I helped someone add sound to a project
I came close to getting strung up by their co-workers who found the
"Jeopardy" theme a bit annoying. I didn't know that was the plan -
honest!! <grin>)

Either use Google to search for "sound API" and VBA or head over to
one of the VBA newsgroups specific to the application you are using.
Someone there may have some links to tutorials and examples on hand.

Thanks, that's a start.

I play sounds (wav files) using sound recorder:

sndrec32.exe /embedding /play /close "sound.wav"
