    Annoying Sound

    I have a question that stretches over a few versions. I have code that "co-ops" the key combination of ALT+n to move to the next record. It works fine but it for some reason that I cannot figure out, it plays the Windows Default Beep Sound. Is there a way to get Access to not play a sound when that key combo is played?

    Set Windows sound scheme to No Sounds or... Set the default beep sound event to None or ... Turn volume down to nothing

    Well I was kinda hoping there was a way to prevent this from within Access so when others were using it on their machines, I wouldn't have to go and silence it on every machine.

    What is the code and where is it located? Maybe if we can replicate the beep with your code someone can find a way to suppress it.

    In Access options, you can clear a checkbox to provide feedback with sound.

    However its in client settings which means its dependant on user preferences and not your app.

    You would be better off using a button click event procedure to move to the next record rather than a keyboard short.
    Doing so would, I believe, solve your issue.

    You might be raising an event message that you're not noticing. Watch the status bar if you're still showing it. If it displays a message, you must have a Windows sound associated with the event. Then it might be a matter of removing the sound for that event, or suppressing the Access status message.
