[AccessD] Beep Doesn't Work on Client Machine

Another thing that it could be is that the computer has a sound card but no
speakers plugged in (or turned on). I just recently found out that if a
computer has a sound card, that the beep no longer "beeps" through the
computer case's speaker. We buy a lot of computers form Dell at work, which
all come with sound cards. Hardly anyone has speakers hooked up.

PS Jim, why on earth do you think Norton would delete the default sound?
Could someone replace the sound with a virus infected mp3 or wav?

    Rocky,

      Norton Anit-virus deletes the "Default Sound" in the windows registry.
See MSKB article Q300406 for the registry settings needed to re-enable it.
Note that this is for Win9x.  There are versions for W2k and XP as well.
Once the entry is back in, you need to apply a sound to the event via
control panel/sounds.

      For a check quick to see if this is the problem, open control panel.
Double click sound.  "Default Sound" will be missing from the list of
events.

      Dear List:

      I am using DoCmd.Beep in an app and it works fine on my box.  However,
the client doesn't hear it on his.  Any idea why this might be?  Is there a
Windows setting governing this?
