>>Hi Dave
>>Using set bell you can't call it again until it finishes playing.
>>Two answers.
>>1/Determine the length of the sound and wait in code the same period of time ( a real PITA, but that's what I did for an sound rich app)
>>2/Use shellexecute API to play it via some other app.
>>The duration parameter is essential, but ignored by Fox.
>>HTH
