There is an old command that is valid until dBase Plus 11 (which I have): SET BELL TO [<frequency expN>, <duration expN>] <frequency expN> The frequency of the bell tone in cycles per second, which must be an integer from 37 to 32,767, inclusive. <duration expN> The duration of the bell tone in milliseconds, which must be an integer from 1 to 2000 (two seconds), inclusive. Example 1 set bell to 2000,500 ? chr (7) Example 2 set bell to 2000,500 ? chr (7), chr (7) Example 3 set bell to 3000,500 ? chr (7), chr (7) set bell to 2000,1000 ? chr (7)
