Hi does anyone out there know how to shut off system beeps when a msgbox pops up within access, so that I don't have to shut off/disable the sounds in control panel and other software? Thank you

Hallo,

Don't think it can be done easily, but you could create your own popup form and MsgBox function.

Select "Control Panel / Sounds" and set the sounds for "Critical Stop", "Default Sound", "Exclamation" and "Question" to "(None)". Those are the sounds that message box plays.

And if you don't want to shut them off for all application like the above solution; try shutting them off in VBA :)

Flippertje, I think that's what eatwork didn't know how to do.
