>I use that successfully in Foxpro 2.0 even when it is running in a DOS window under Windows 95, but in Visual Foxpro running under Windows 95, CHR(7) only produces an almost inaudible tick sound. I want the old fashioned beep sound that I grew to know and love in DOS. I know that I can SET BELL TO a .wav file, but .wav files are not played through the tiny on board speaker. You have to buy a sound card to play a .wav file.

How about:

procedure beep_beep
*
* nBeep =  0 default sound (no icon w.r.t. MessageBox)
*         16 critical stop (stop sign)
*         32 question      (question mark)
         48 exclamation   (exclamation point)
*         64 asterisk      (information symbol)
*
parameter nBeep
declare integer MessageBeep in Win32API ;
   Integer nBeep
=MessageBeep(nBeep)
return

Don't know if you need a sound card for this. I don't have a *soundless* machine to test on anymore. If it works on a machine with only the standard internal speaker, please let me [us] know. TIA and HTH.
