Play wav sound when cell is selected

**Synthia** · 11-24-2009, 03:15 PM

I have a wav sound I would like the user to hear when the cell is selected
Each cell has a word in it:
a1 = relator
a2 = woo
a3 = strategic

each word has a related recording that is in the form of a wav sound file

(does the wav filke have to be stored in a certain place...?)

perused lots of Qs & As but didn't find one this simple:
the user clicks the cell and the sound plays.
Help is appreciated!

I am underqualified, unfortunately, it will take me about three days to figure out how to try out the steps - I have to start by looking up many of the words in help files to see what they mean- that is how underqualified I am - I am relatively new to formulas and lost in the instructions given, but aspire to get there, so appreciate them and will work on it over the long turkey weekend.
Thanks

In the attachment you'll find an example that's close to what you want, based on a macro found on the net. My limited knowledge of VBA stops me from adapting it further for you.
