133444 2003-04-04 12:47:00 Does any one know how to make noises in Excel?
I want to have a noise of some sort when a user gets so far in the spreedsheet (there are a series of questions to answer) and the sequence is basically finished. Possibly the second to last to give a warning that the last question is next!
Regards.

133445 2003-04-04 19:28:00 This turns on sound in all of Office:
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
Select or clear the Provide feedback with sound check box.
I am not sure that lets you choose to make sounds in some places. In fact, I suspect it creates a cacophony of indiscriminate sound.
You can then control some of the sounds in Control Panel, sound, but I don't think that will be enough.
Are you doing any VB macros? I am sure sounds could be made in there. Search under sound, not noise.

In the following example, clicking on the Cell B20 in worksheet Sheet1 will play a BEEP.

Enter the following code in ThisWorkbook in the VB editor.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Set mc = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(20, 2)
If ActiveCell.Address = mc.Address Then
Beep
End If
End Sub

Extra BEEPs can be added and a time delay added between extra BEEPs if necessary.
