Beep Sound...

How do you disable the beep sound when you launch a messagebox? That sound is annoying.
Thanks all..

The sound is a user configuration setting, so it's not polite to mess with it without the user's permission. If you want to change it on your own PC, go to Control Panel -> Sounds and set the appropriate events under Windows to the desired WAV file (or nothing, if you prefer).

I understand what your saying.

We turn it off in the keypress event of a textbox so it doesn't beep everytime the user presses enter. What's the difference here? Is it possible without messing with the users pc settings? The only other thing I can think of is taking out the messagebox letting the user know the record updated. ? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Well, I personally feel that message boxes are generally annoying and unnecessary, so I'm in favor of eliminating them whenever possible. If you MUST have a message box, it's trivial to create a form that looks like a message box; then you may display it without Windows playing a sound.
