I see...I get a beep from VFP...I don't know what could be the problem...if you hold down the ALT key and type in 07 on the numeric pad (and then release the ALT key) when you are typing a message in here (UT), what do you get? I get a beep...

>>>In all earlier versions of FoxPro for DOS issuing ?? CHR(7) gave an audible and attention grabbing DING! In VFP issuing the same thing gives a wimpy tick. If I SET BELL TO 'C:\WINDOWS\DING.WAV",1 this works fine for machines with sound cards.
