View 7 RepliesI'm using this simple code to play a wav file I loaded into a worksheet:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Object 1").Select
Selection.Verb Verb = xlclose
I attached the macro to a button and it works. Now I need to stop the wave sound playing, by attaching another macro to a button. Is that possible? What syntax shall I use to stop playing the sound?

Can a message box support a hyperlink? I prompt a user with a message box with the text to a website, can the text for the website be a hyperlink in that message?
View 2 Replies View Relatedmy excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write some VB code that will call up a sound file each time I give a new cell focus.
Example:
Cell A1 holds value "Hello"
I'm trying to write code that calls a sound clip I've recorded that says "Hello" when I select A1
Any suggestions?
How can I silence the annoying beep heard whenever a msgbox pops up or an error box appears?

Private Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
Const SND_SYNC = &H0
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If UCase(ActiveSheet.Range("S41").Value) > 99 Then
FName = "C:windowsmediading.wav"
Call PlaySound(FName, 0&, SND_ASYNC Or SND_FILENAME)
End If
End Sub
but I cant get it to work!
All I want is for it to play a sound when My Value in S41 goes over the Value 99
the value is part of a simple formula of sums.
is there anyway of playing a sound once a user opens my excel file???
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have made a standard Demo Workbook for testing Wav file VBA in this case.
It shows the problem code and a series of counters.
When the RED macro button is pressed, it should show the error code. and below a brief explanation.
I don't think it is an actual error as such, but I ask for an alteration. Once the code is solved, the GREEN button should work. If the demo book is downloaded it will explain better.
I recently installed Office 2002 onto a new computer and found that whenever I drag-and-drop any amount of data from one cell to another, a loud obnoxious noise plays when I release the drag-and-drop data.
I was using the same version of Office on my old computer and did not have this problem.
I'm guessing it's a clipboard issue, since when I open the Excel clipboard (where I currently have all options as unchecked) and copy something so it is captured there, the same noise plays.
I already have turned off Windows sounds via the Control Panel and have no clue how to turn off this sound.
Just want to know if there is a way to play a sound based on the value of a cell. In this case, if the cell says "S" then the sound is a low note and if the cell says "L" then the sound is a high note. If the cell is "" then there is no sound.

What I need is a button to turn the sound alerts on and off on my spreadsheet. Ideally I'd like a button that either changed an image to the speaker image when on and the speaker image with line through it when off. Is that possible?
If not, is it possible to have a button that just says: "Sound:ON" or "Sound:OFF"?
I guess it could be done with tick boxes, or drop down options.
The macro below is adding the SUM cell. Is it possible to make a beep sound when SUM cell value will be the same as one on the left?

I have an automated sort descend happening all day. The top several cells are coloured green and if a cell jumps to the top from below the green cells, I would love a warning sound. Is is possible to activate a sound if a cell changes from a colour to a non colour. Preferably if any of the cells within a range of say F2: F6 changes from green to a non colour.
If it is not possible to have a change of colour to activate the macro, I could get around it by - if any cells in a range of H2:H5 >than 1 it plays a sound.
vbInformation, vbExclamation, etc makes the associated sounds, but vbQuestion does not make any sound. How do make vbQuestion sound off?

For x = 1 To 3

Any thoughts as to what the problem is?
I was just wondering if there was a way to get a particular cell to play a sound when it is entered? I have a brain wave and am just wondering if it is possible.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying achieve the following. I have bracketed each part seperate part for clarity.
(if a1+b1+c1 = 10 or more), and (a2 = 10 or more) and (b2 = 10 or more) (then sound an alert) (and display the number 1 in d1) (if not ignore).
I can do parts of the formula but i am getting very very confused trying to combine them together. I am trying to make this formula work in d1.
Can anyone tell me if this is a valid piece of logic that can be represented by an excel formula.
I would like to create a macro that plays a sound every 45 seconds or so. In other words, I would like to have a countdown timer that counts from 45 seconds down to 0 seconds and at the end it plays a sound file(could be mp3, wav, etc) to signal the end. After that it should automatically reset itself back to the start of 45s and count down again. This would be repeated about ten to eleven times. What is the easiest way of doing this? It's too confusing. Lets say the audio file was located in: C:my soundseep.wav

I get #Name error. I placed the wav file Applause.wav in the same folder as the workbook. What did I do wrong?. Also, assuming I get this problem sorted out, how would I represent the condition "pass" or "fail" as in cell B3 in the Alarm formula? Would it be; Alarm(B3,"Pass") or Alarm(B3,"=Pass") or something else?
I have 2 cells that take imported info. from a DDE server. Lets say one cell currently has a number of 9.00. Lets say the 2nd cell has a number of 1.00. Lets say the 1st cell over time goes from 9.00 to 8.50 to 7.33 to 6.67 and so on....it continues to go down. At the same time, lets say the 2nd cell is gaining and going from 1.00 to 1.33 to 2.00 to 2.67 to 3.33, and so on...and it continues to go up. I want to have a certain sound play once the two cell numbers "cross" each other. I only want this sound to play one time and not every "tick" as they cross and go up/down. Can someone show me how to program this?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to automate/keep records of my day by setting up a spreadsheet which : 1) Plays a wav music file at a schedule time as a reminder and 2) at the same time calls up a form where I can enter the results of the activity then 3) saves the results to a sheet where consecutive daily records can be recorded and graphed.
Example
At 5am each day I want a "Motivation.wav" music file to open and play and a form appear where I enter in the number of sit ups, push-ups I get done, which I enter in the form and it gets saved to a sheet where I can graph my progress based on the results recorded.
I have thousands of items each with a unique barcode(column A) and each is catorgorized either KEEP or DISCARD (column B). What I want to do is scan the barcode (column A), Vlookup and return KEEP or DISCARD (column B). Now based on what the vlookup returns can I have a sound file play for KEEP and a different one for DISCARD.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a wav sound I would like the user to hear when the cell is selected
Each cell has a word in it:
a1 = relator
a2 = woo
a3 = strategic
each word has a related recording that is in the form of a wav sound file. (does the wav filke have to be stored in a certain place...?) perused lots of Qs & As but didn't find one this simple: the user clicks the cell and the sound plays.
I am not sure whether "embedding" is the right word. Please have a look at this excel file and tell me how to make such a file? .....
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is a complete mystery to me. I have some code (reproduced below) that plays a .wav file when any of the values in a1:a9 changes from 0 to greater than 0. This code works when I manually change one of the values to a trigger number in any of the cells.
The problem is that the values in a1:a9 are really pointers to other cells. For example,
a1 is "=sum(D9:D20)"
So, when I d9:d20 chnages values such that a1 changes from 0 to 5, the sound doesn't play. To put it simply, if I type "5" in a1 the sound plays. If a1 = D1 and I type "5" in D1 the value in A1 changes to 5 but the sound doesn't play.
How do I modify this code such that any change in the value of A1:A9, no matter the source of that data change, triggers the playing of the sound? ......
I am trying to add sound to a cell where there is a result from a formula. I want to add a siren notification sound when a child achieves a club record for an athletics event. At present when a record is broken a formula notes a CR in the cell adjacent to the athletes result. I have searched the forums and found the below code which works. Firstly how do I change the beep to a siren (I have downloaded a siren from clipart) and how to I change the code to include cells D7 down to D30....
