Default Sound Alarm when time expires


Hello,

How do I write a code that will play a sound, such as the Mozzart sound
clip that comes with windows, or any other music or sound clip that is
on the computer after a certain time has expired in a cell.

Thanks,
EMoe

I probably need to add a VBA code that automaticaaly updates the sheet,
which would update the time every so many minutes.

Thoughts????????

A little clearer!

I want to compare a time entered into, say cell B1 with the current
time, via formula =now(), cell A1.

When the time in A1 is the same as, or past the time entered into cell
B1, activate (play) music clip.

I want to use vba to auto update the sheet, say every 3 minutes to keep
the time moving/updated.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
EMoe

Hi EMoe,

See Chip Pearson's OnTime page at:

and see John Walkenbach's tip # 87 on playing sounds:
