Ken, does VB6 provide arrays? If so, you could create an array of strings which hold your file names and then call an element of your array at random using a standard numerical random command. This way you wouldn't need to place numbers at the end of your file names.

If I tell dx8 that the file is called walk.wav, it does fine. If i say it's called walk3.wav though, i get an invalid procedure call. Anybody know how to handle this? I'm trying to randomize the footstep sounds. Check out my games at www.ThePionEar.net and my music, and that of my band, at www.ThePionEar.net/BlindLabyrinth.html .
