Use the PlaySound API. Make a Form with a CommandButton and put the following code into it.

Code:

---

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    'Play the WAV
    PlaySound "C:\MyFile.wav", 0&, &H1

End Sub

' bas module code
'API Function to play the sound
'
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm" Alias _
"sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, _
ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
'
' play synchronously (default)
Public Const SND_SYNC = &H0
