BEEP

Macro Sheets Only

Sounds a tone. Use BEEP to signal a message, a dialog box, or the end of a macro, or whenever you need to get the user's attention.

Syntax

BEEP(tone_num)

Tone_num is a number from 1 to 4 specifying the tone to be played.

On most computers, all numbers produce the same sound, the sound that you hear when an error occurs or when you click outside some dialog boxes.
If tone_num is omitted, it is assumed to be 1.

Remarks

With a Macintosh, you can control the volume of the tone by using the Control Panels desk accessory.
With Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, you can turn off the tone by using the Control Panel.
