Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long



Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim result As Integer
result=sndplaysound (C:\My Documents\vbbooks\chimes1)
End Sub

Try this quicky:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Private Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
 
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 Form_Load()
Dim sFile$
 
    sFile = "C:\Windows\Media\chimes.wav"
    If Not Dir(sFile) = "" Then
        PlaySound sFile, ByVal 0&, SND_FILENAME Or SND_ASYNC
    End If
 
End Sub

does this help

VB Code:

Private Const SND_APPLICATION = &H80         '  look for application specific association
Private Const SND_ALIAS = &H10000     '  name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry
Private Const SND_ALIAS_ID = &H110000    '  name is a WIN.INI [sounds] entry identifier
Private Const SND_ASYNC = &H1         '  play asynchronously
Private Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000     '  name is a file name
Private Const SND_LOOP = &H8         '  loop the sound until next sndPlaySound
Private Const SND_MEMORY = &H4         '  lpszSoundName points to a memory file
Private Const SND_NODEFAULT = &H2         '  silence not default, if sound not found
Private Const SND_NOSTOP = &H10        '  don't stop any currently playing sound
Private Const SND_NOWAIT = &H2000      '  don't wait if the driver is busy
Private Const SND_PURGE = &H40               '  purge non-static events for task
Private Const SND_RESOURCE = &H40004     '  name is a resource name or atom
Private Const SND_SYNC = &H0         '  play synchronously (default)
