Success! Yea!
You know it does help if you 'actually' have the sndrec32.exe in your system32 folder. Huh! LOL. You were correct, I did not have it. Downloaded, placed in system32 folder, applied your 'code' but modified to use 'my' wav and it worked. By the way, I have windows xp pro.
Thanks again Stopmagic,
