Question: I need a VBScript that causes the system to beep through the onboard speaker when the user clicks on a line of text. I am using this for an intranet wep site that doesn't allow applets or any program language other than VBScript, Javascript, HTML.

The Beep code is very simple - echo character 7 to a console. You can do it using WScript.echo, it works with cscript command line:

  WScript.echo Chr(7)

Next is a short function to play more beep sounds:

Sub Beep(n)
  WScript.echo replace(Space(n), " ", Chr(7))
End Sub

Sometimes you will need to play beep sound from an ASP page, in .hta aplication or other application which has no Echo command. You can do it with WScript.Shell object, the Shell object let's you also play the sound asynchronously:

Sub Beep(n,Wait)
  CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "cmd /c @echo " & replace(Space(n), " ", Chr(7)),,Wait 
End Sub
