Every since the release of of Windows 95 and VisualFoxPro, direct access to the PC Speaker is no longer supported. You will have to use wave files or C++ programming.

Hi Jimmy,

If your intention is to play a bell sound which appears not to work with the default specker... then you can solve it by the following command.

Issue the following command....
SET BELL ON
** SET BELL TO "mypath\mySound.WAV"
SET BELL TO "C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA\DING.WAV"
? CHR(7)

Hope this helps you

Declare long Beep IN WIN32API long dwFreq, long dwDuration
=Beep(1500,100)
=Beep(1500,1000)
=Beep(3000,100)

Where:
· dwFreq
Windows NT:
Specifies the frequency, in hertz, of the sound. This parameter must be in the range 37 through 32,767 (0x25 through 0x7FFF).
Windows 95:
The parameter is ignored.

· dwDuration
Windows NT:
Specifies the duration, in milliseconds, of the sound.
Windows 95:
The parameter is ignored.
