[devGOD]

I'm trying to get my error MsgBox to play a wav or system beep when it opens. is there a way to do this without have to add .ocx's or apis?

You can just use the simple Beep statement.

Try that that funny:

Private Declare Function Beep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwFreq As Long, ByVal dwDuration As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Visible = False
    Dim Cnt As Long
    For Cnt = 0 To 5000 Step 10
        Beep Cnt, 50
        Me.Caption = Cnt
        DoEvents
    Next Cnt
Unload Me
End Sub

You kinda have to use api's.
