Sorry, Tim, I wasn't clear. Check to see if the file is there, and if you have the correct path. My suggestion of using a Wait Window was to display on-screen the file name and path and the result of a 'File()' command to be sure you were looking where you thought you were.

>the wait window seems to have no effect, even if I point to a non-existent wav file. It still just dings.
