Mute Button

[GKite]

Is it possible to have volume control from an access form? All I want to do is have a button that can enable/disable the sound on the computer. More or less, a mute button.

Yes, it is possible - but you have to find the appropriate system calls to Windows because the odds are that Access doesn't own the sound-generating resource.

Have you considered putting the volume control icon on your SYSTRAY area? It is just as convenient there and you don't have to worry about what to do if a form is not being displayed at the moment.

Yes the system Icon button would work but would not be as nearly convenient as it would be on the form, since the form calls the sound file.

I think it depends on what program is playing the sound file.

What code do you use to open the file.
