hi Mike. Suspect the root of your problem is this:

System.Media.SystemSounds.Beep.Play

plays a beep

System.Media.SystemSounds.Question.Play

doesn't play anything

Not all windows system sounds are allocated an actual wav file by default. In order to get the question.play to actually make a sound you may need to go into control panel to allocate one. This would then have to be done on every computer that used your app.

Might be better off trying something like this:

My.Computer.Audio.Play ("path to sound file goes here")
