On the left hand side of the VBE you should see a file tree looking thing
5) Click VBA Project(yourfilenamehere)
that should reveal Sheet1,2, and 3 and this workbook
6) double click this workbook and Copy and paste this
Option Explicit
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, _
ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Sub PlayWavFile(WavFileName As String)
sndPlaySound WavFileName, 1
End Sub
7) Double click the Sheet1 module and paste this
Sub TestPlayWavFile()
PlayWavFile "C:\WINDOWS\Media\Windows XP Startup.Wav"
End Sub
8) Close the VBE and return to excel

Looks like I am missing something. How do I start? I add a button from the
form control and add a new macro and copy and paste your vba? Please let me
know because this thing is "bugging" me. Thanks.

Hello:
Can somebody explain to me how to add a sound file to a macro. I need exact
instructions, since what I got (below) does not seem to work for some reason,
and error comes up. Can you please explain how to do it exactly?
Here is what I have:
Public Declare Function sndPlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, _
ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Sub PlayWavFile(WavFileName As String, Wait As Boolean)
If Dir(WavFileName) = "" Then Exit Sub ' no file to play
If Wait Then ' play sound before running any more code
sndPlaySound WavFileName, 0
Else ' play sound while code is running
sndPlaySound WavFileName, 1
End If
End Sub
Sub TestPlayWavFile()
PlayWavFile "c:\foldername\soundfilename.wav", False
MsgBox "This is visible while the sound is playing..."
PlayWavFile "c:\foldername\soundfilename.wav", True
MsgBox "This is visible after the sound is finished playing..."
End Sub
