Don't use CHR(7). Try the Windows API instead.
I found an example of this a long time ago from the news2news Win32 API site
and rolled out this function. Pass it a specific sound file or it will default
to the old ding.wav. (Apologies in advance for any stupid Outlook wrapping...)
FUNCTION playSound(m.soundFile AS Character, m.soundMode AS Int)
TRY
IF VARTYPE(m.soundMode)=[L]
m.soundMode=0 && SND_SYNC
ENDIF
IF VARTYPE(m.soundFile)=[L]
m.soundMode=[ding.wav]
ENDIF
DECLARE INTEGER sndPlaySound IN WinMM.dll STRING lpszSoundName, INTEGER
uFlags
sndPlaySound(FULLPATH(m.soundFile), m.soundMode)
CATCH TO m.loError
FINALLY
ENDTRY
ENDFUNC

Subject: Re: Appointment tracker
I've had issues with this in Win 7; a modeless top-level form used to display a
"pop-up" message won't appear on the desktop, or execute a "bell" sound (??
CHR(7)) if the user has something else open. It only silently puts up a button
on the taskbar. This does not get the user's attention. Worked fine in XP.
Is there a way to get such a VFP pop-up to take precedence instead of opening
minimized in Win 7?
Also, I've had issues with the Windows Scheduler in Win 7 for restricted users.
Apparently Windows Scheduler needs an administrator account to actually execute
some things. Someone else mentioned that UAC had to be turned off. Can anyone
elaborate on this point?
Thanks.
