How do I play a certain .wav file at for example 12:00?

You can use a Timer to moniter the current time, and if it's less than 12:01 and more that 11:59, use an API call to play the wave....let us know if you have a specific question of how to do that...

I Use the Multimedia control that comes with vb5 for playing waves.

MMC1.filename = "c:\Alarm.wav"
MMC1.DeviceType = "WaveAudio"
MMC1.Command = "Open"
MMC1.Command = "Sound"
MMC1.Command = "Close"

Hope this helps

In a way, the API is better (although it's more code) because you don't have to distribute the multimedia ocx file with your program. Also, it helps non-API users get into the wonderful world of API.

look into the sndPlaySound API.

If at first, you don't succed, call it version 1.0.
