    timer with sound

    Is it possible to have excel make an audible beep or other sound at a certain time?

    eg, if I had a time in cell A1, is there a way I can make excel beep when that time is reached?

    Even better, is there a non-VBA way to do this?

    I'm using 2007.
    Regards,

    Hi,

    I don't think you'll be able to do this outside of VBA.

    In anycase, take a look at this:

    If you Google "Timer" or "Timer Widget" or best of all "Computer Alarm Clock" you'll get literally 100s of free timer programs you can run outside of Excel.
