>>>I am developing a custom textbox sub-class. I am monitoring each keystroke in the keypress event. Some keystrokes are obvious errors and I want to sound the "bell" when those keys are pressed rather than accept them. I specify NODEFAULT on those keystrokes and so I therefore do not accept them, but I want the user to be aware so that is why I want to sound the "bell". The users only look up when they hear a "bell". I cannot find a way to make the bell sound.

>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.

I don't know if this still works or not, but can you:

SET BELL TO frequency,duration like you could in FP2.0?

I don't have any machines that don't have a sound card anymore so I can't test it.

FPW and FPD still work that what way on W95. Not sure about VFP.
