[AccessD] Click Sound

I saw the solution - the API cal, PlaySnd - I used that in Access 97.  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.

Best,

Hmmm!   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?
