Stop BEEP when msgbox appears.

[Matrix_zero]

I want to stop the beep sound from coming up when i open a messagebox, i did already uncheck 'Provide Feedback With Sound' in options. Any other suggestions?

I don't know of a way to get the VB MsgBox function to not beep, but the Macro version of the Message Box has a setting for Beep or not.

Have you closed Access and reopened it? The setting might not take effect until Access is reopened.

Tried restarting

I tried restarting, it no longer makes the sound when i open a inputbox, but messageboxes still make the sound. Any other suggestions?

 

[Matrix_zero]

anyone have any ideas?

You could always unplug the speaker from the jumpers on the motherboard in your PC ;-)

Must be a Windows property. The sound of the beep also changes depending on which Message Box Style you use.

bump it to the top

You could make a faux message box using a form...forms don't beep when they appear.
You can mimic MsgBox behavior using popup/dialog/modal/etc...(haven't done it, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.)

When you turn down the volume control on your speakers, does the sound go away? In other words, is it playing a sound file or simply using the little speaker attached to the motherboard? What version of Windows and Access are you using? I don't get a beep when I display a standard MsgBox with the specs in my sig.

Windows XP Home, office XP

it is playing a sound file through the external speakers.

Go into the Windows control panel and turn the sound off for msg boxes there

I don't want to have to do this on each users computer. Is there any easier way?

 

[Rich]

Not that I know of, what's up with the beep anyway ?

This might help if you can figure out how to use the code without the form...
