Hi Rocky

Convince him not to do this. It is against all GUI conventions. It will
drive users mad and their first question will be how to turn it off.

Emne: Re: [AccessD] Click Sound

Client wants it because he's seriously considering turning the system I
wrote for him to manage his business into a product.  I gave him my book and
said if you read this and then lie down and the feeling doesn't pass then
we'll talk.

So we've been talking and he's ready to start down that path. Thinks he can
sell 50 of them in a year and then find someone to acquire it and do another
project.  Lot of guys have that idea - this guy is one of the few that think
actually could.

And one of the user friendly things he wanted was that click sound when you
click a command button.  So if I do it, it has to be version independent,
and not be triggering a player to play the sound - has to be immediate so
there's a visual/aural connection. I think it's one of those 'features' that
may get put on the Version 2 list.
