>>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.

Jim,

Sorry, but my help file says nothing about frequency or duration in the SET BELL TO command. I am using VFP 5.0a. I went ahead and tried the old Foxpro 2.0 command which allows frequency and duration, but still no true bell sound, just an almost inaudible tick sound.

Am I missing something?
