Macro to Play Wave File

[yo beee]

I have a macro to play a wave file. It works great (See code below) but,
the macro won't play my wave file all the way through to the end. It plays
about 5 - 10 seconds of the file and that is about it.
Does anyone have any idea on how to make the macro play the entire file
all the way through?
TIA

Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Sub PlayMe1()
Dim retval As Long
retval = PlaySound("C:\My folder\my subfolder\wav1.wav", 0, &H20000)
End Sub

Try this:

Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Sub PlayMe1()
Const SND_ASYNC = &H1
Const SND_FILENAME = &H20000
Dim retval As Long
retval = PlaySound("C:\My folder\my subfolder\wav1.wav", _
0, SND_ASYNC Or SND_FILENAME)
End Sub

Tom,
Thanks! It worked perfectly. Any ideas on how to stop all wav files with
a command button?
Thanks again. Your a lifesaver!

Untested, but you can try this:

Declare Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" _
Alias "PlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszName As String, _
ByVal hModule As Long, _
ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Sub StopMe1()
Const SND_PURGE = &H40
Dim retval As Long
retval = PlaySound(vbNullString, _
0, SND_PURGE = &H40)
End Sub

You don't need to repeat the declaration if it is already in the module.
