Multiple Beeps in a Row
Roger Reece 
    
6 years ago
Looking for a way to add multiple beeps in a macro to draw attention to the enduser.  I tried the Msgbox command with the beep, but the beep argument has no parameters.  Looking for a simple way to make the beep longer or to beep three times to differentiate it from other beeps found in the programming.  Thanks.

Access will play multiple beeps immediately if you put them in a row. Try adding a sleep delay between them.

Docmd.Beep
Sleep 1000 ' sleep for one second

Thank you.  I don't see the Sleep command as one I can select in macros.  Do I need to build a sub routine using your VBA commands.  My plan was to execute the macro after I left a field on a form, if a specific condition was met.

Yep. Sleep isn't available as a macro command. You need to follow the instructions in that tip I pointed you to. I'll be covering it in an upcoming TechHelp video in the near future.
