Rocky, Well in case anyone is un-aware, past few release of Office allow for "feedback with sound" as an option...seems like it's OK for Microsoft then. Of course, they even blew their own design guidelines for Windows 8 tiles, so they don't always make good choices either.

And it's a real good method if you want to play an mp3 file or a wav file. Give audible instructions for example. But I disagree that the non-programmatic alternatives are not useful. In fact, I had and followed lots of discussion here about, what we might loosely call, 'design topics'. After all design comes before coding. And the experience of a couple of listers, whose opinions I greatly respect said it would be a bad design decision. That, for me at least, on this topic, was the right solution.

A simple programming "how do I" question. One answer of "here's the code". Lots of answers of "why", "don't do it" and "use a different development environment". Whatever happened to this as a support forum for Access development problems? Rocky, I presume you did see my solution using an API call? -- Stuart On 7 May 2013 at 7:23, Jim Lawrence wrote: > Hi Rocky: > > I have to agree with Gustav in this.
