Hello:

Can somebody explain to me how to add a sound file to a macro. I need exact
instructions, since what I got (below) does not seem to work for some reason,
and error comes up. Can you please explain how to do it exactly?


Here is what I have:

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


Sub PlayWavFile(WavFileName As String, Wait As Boolean)
If Dir(WavFileName) = "" Then Exit Sub ' no file to play
If Wait Then ' play sound before running any more code
sndPlaySound WavFileName, 0
Else ' play sound while code is running
sndPlaySound WavFileName, 1
End If
End Sub


Sub TestPlayWavFile()
PlayWavFile "c:\foldername\soundfilename.wav", False
MsgBox "This is visible while the sound is playing..."
PlayWavFile "c:\foldername\soundfilename.wav", True
MsgBox "This is visible after the sound is finished playing..."
End Sub
