Play Sound File

[WCSO]

I have a form with a timer event that runs the following code:
SET BELL TO thatplace+'\Settings\_CSRAlert.wav'
? CHR(7)
SET BELL TO

thatplace is a data location.
When I run this form from within FoxPro, the sound plays.
When I run this form from the executable, I get no sound and no error. I have run this form both ways on the same machine. Any help would be appreciated.

The '?' is essentially executing asynchronously. The program does not wait for the sound file to finish playing before proceeding to the next line of code. If the next line terminates the program, the program might end before the sound file starts to play.

Try putting

wait window "" timeout 5

right after the '?' to see if that helps.
