Need an alarm to override games sounds (Solved)

[longwolf]

I posted this last night, but it didn't seem to stick, so here goes again.

Help!
I've written a sub for my program with multiple alarms.
The program sets the alarm times.
It beeps or plays .wav's and works great.

One problem, the subs' main reasons for existing it to tell me it's time to get out a whatever game the kids or I am playing and take care of biz!
And, naturally, I'm not getting sound from it while a game is open.

I've searched all over several web sites without luck.

Is there some way (any way) to get the alarms to sound while in game play!
I would prefer to use a wav file, but if another file type can do it Great!
This app is important to me, the alarms are just part of a much bigger program that I'm using in a home biz.

Please be gentle, I bought VB6 Pro some time back, haven't done much with it till now and the CD's are misplaced.
So I don't have any help files, but I have installed sp5.

Thx, John
