Default Macro to Play Wave File

Untested, but you can try this:

Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Sub StopMe1()
Const SND_PURGE = &H40
Dim retval As Long
retval = PlaySound(vbNullString, _
0, SND_PURGE = &H40)
End Sub

You don't need to repeat the declaration if it is already in the module.

I have a macro to play a wave file. It works great (See code

below)
but,
the macro won't play my wave file all the way through to the end. It

plays
about 5 - 10 seconds of the file and that is about it.
Does anyone have any idea on how to make the macro play the entire

file
all the way through?
TIA

Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Sub PlayMe1()
Dim retval As Long
retval = PlaySound("C:\My folder\my subfolder\wav1.wav", 0,

&H20000)
End Sub
