Hi Rob,

Application.Wait won't give you the precision you need to space out your
beeps. You could use the Sleep API function:

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Sub MultiBeep(NumBeeps As Integer)
Dim Counter As Integer

For Counter = 1 To NumBeeps
Interaction.Beep
Sleep 200
Next Counter
End Sub

You might consider using a .wav file instead.

Option Explicit
' Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "c:\winnt\system32\winmm.dll" _'
Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, _
ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
'can be called from a worksheet subroutine

Sub Double_beep()
Call sndPlaySound32("c:\i386\ringout.wav", 0)
End Sub

' Example of an Event Macro -- you will need to make playvalue100 in
' a regular module
' Option Explicit
' Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
' If Target.Address(0, 0) = "A1" And Target.Value = 100 Then
' playvalue100
' End If
' End Sub


For something interesting like playing every .wav file on your system
