I have a macro to play a wav file; however, I only want to play the first 30
seconds from it. Is there a way to modify my macros (see below) to stop
after 30 seconds?

Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" _
(ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long

Sub GameOver()
Call sndPlaySound32("C:\Sounds\Gameover.wav", 0)
End Sub

Playing a wav file is an all or nothing proposition. The easiest solution
would be to modify the wav file (using any number of downloads from the
internet) to only contain the first 30 seconds...
