Hi Jim,

The reason is because I adapted a piece of code in my library. In there, it
is being used as a worksheet function, hence a function.

I also tend to write more of my procedures as functions than most, just a
style thing I guess. I read something once by Paul Lomax where he advocated
only ever using functions, which I agree with in concept, even if not in
practice, so as to test for success.

Regards

Bob

Any reason you implement PlayWavFile as a function returning and empty
string
instead of as a sub? Just curious... Nice code... makes me wish I had
sound
here at work...

Public Function PlayWavFile(WavFile As String) As String
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
PlaySound WavFile, 0, SND_ASYNC Or SND_FILENAME
PlayWavFile = ""
End Function


'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet

'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code
