Thanks Guys.

Not really there yet though. How come broro183
doesn't hear it though? Speakers off ??

Sub TestMS()
Application.EnableSound = False
MsgBox "Done"
Application.EnableSound = True
MsgBox "Done again"
End Sub

A beep each time as the Msgbox appears.
Disabling Windows sound completely may be the only way
but seems a bit extreme.
