Put this in a module

VB Code:

Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
 
Public Const SND_ASYNC = &H1         '  play asynchronously

Then call it like this

VB Code:

sWavFile = "C:\windows\media\Ding.wav"
x = sndPlaySound(sWaveFile, SND_ASYNC)
