Chaim,

qGEN010 uses ShellExecute() which will bring up the full Sound Recorder applet.

I get everything I need to know about the API from the MSDN CD. If you've got the full VisualStudio you have it. VFP3 shipped with the winapi.hlp file which is still mostly valid I think. Also ath API is online at http://www.microsoft.com/win32dev/

sndPlaySound will let you play it synchronously or asynchronously meaning VFP could continue running shile the sound plays in the background. I don't thing SET BELL allows that VFP will be held until the .wav finishes.

> I found article qGEN011, is there another?
> How does this technique (sndPlaySound) give you more control than just using the SET BELL command? Where can I get docs on sndPlaySound?
