How can I attach sounds to my events?

It's actually pretty simple. You need to use the following API call.

Just copy the Declare and Sub below, and put it in a module.

To use it, the only thing you need to pass it, is the path of your sound. So if your doing this in a distrubuted application, you might want to use the AppPath.

Example:
Private Sub Button_Click()
Call PlaySound("C:\Windows\Media\Office97\Whoosh.wav")
End Sub

That's it. Enjoy

Note: This will NOT work in Access 2.0, am unsure about 95 but I know it works in 97 & 2000, and assume later versions.



Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

Public Sub PlaySound(strSound)
Call sndPlaySound32(strSound, 0)
End Sub
