For some reason none of these options work for me but I figured it out:. I ended up doing was using a run process with the following syntax: sndrec32 /play /close /embeding c:\windows\media\chimes.wav
The embedding switch makes sure that the application itself is not seen. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks, Michiel. I copied the chimes.wav file to the web server: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ Created a chimes.htm file on the web server with these contents: <html><body><bgsound src=https://remedydev/chimes.wav></body><html> Set the hidden View Field on the Remedy form to: "https://remedydev/chimes.htm"; The only drawback is pulling a 55KB file (chime.wav) each time. I tried using "File:///C:\Windows\Media\Chimes.wav" but it opens up the Windows Media Player to play the wav.

Using Run Process it would be tricky to hide the media player window. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards Michiel Beijen ______________________________________________________ MANSOLUTIONS Energieweg 60-62 3771 NA Barneveld The Netherlands Tel. +31-(0)612968592 Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet http://bsm.mansolutions.nl On 4/12/07, Menachem, Sharon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** > > Hi, > > > ARS 5.1.2 patch 1484 > Win 2003 > SQL 2000 SP3 > > I am trying to play a sound when a particular window opens up in the user > tool and I am trying to use regular command line syntax to do that.
