Hi,

Can someone tell me the code line to turn beeps off? is it something like:

DoCmd.Beep (False) or Beep.Enabled = False

Both of these don't work.

Thanks,

Wes.

Wes,

Neither the Beep action or the DoCmd.Beep method turn off the beeping 
sound.  Both those statements are meant to make the computer beep.  If you 
DON'T want the computer to beep, simply don't include any beep statements 
in your code. 

If your computer is beeping anyway, then it's one of two things:

1) Use your menus and go to TOOLS then OPTIONS and click the "General" 
tab.  Turn off the "Provide Feedback with Sound" checkbox.

2) If you have a MSGBOX command and you have something like this

   MsgBox "The data you entered is not valid.", vbExclamation, "Error!"

Then the "vbExclamation" will cause the message box to show the 
exclamation point in a triangle and it will also cause your computer to 
make the sound associated with a Microsoft Windows event.  Those sounds 
are set via your Control Panel / Sounds folder.

Greg

Thanks Greg!
