Hi,

What is the content of ErrorLocation when you are on your server and on the
client?

Client: "C:\Websites\TimeSheets\wavs\compute.wav"

Server: "F:\Intranet\Applications\TimeSheets\wavs\compute.wav"

I get no errors on both, just no sound from the server, so it is
finding the wav file on the server. I know becuase I got errors with
different paths before on the server.

Try this:

My.Computer.Audio.Play(ErrorLocation, AudioPlayMode.Background)

Thanks for your help but I get a message somthing like Audio is not a
member of My.Computer. How can I get it to be a member?

Thanks,
Roger

Ahhh is this a website or a web control library? My.Computer.Audio isn't
available in those kinds of project. If this is a web site, you need to
specify a URL, rather than a file path ( I suspect ) with your media player
control, possibly file:\\\myserver\bla\bla\bla or similar). I have not much
experience of ASP.NET, so others might be able to confirm.

I don't think the mentioned methods ('SoundPlayer' and 'My.Audio.Play') are
intended for use in Web applications. In both cases the sound will be
played on the server and not on the client.
