One way to do this is to add a DataSubscriber to the form and set the PLCAddressValue. Double click the DataSubscriber and add this code:

if DataSubscriber1.Value="1" then
  My.Computer.Audio.Play("c:\alarm.wav")
End if

Put a break point at the first line "If DataSubscriber...." by clicking in the margin to the left. You will get a red dot to indicate the breakpoint. The run the application to see if the event fires.

It is definitely firing the event. When it reaches the breakpoint, hover the mouse over .Value and see what it equals at that point.

Then step through the code (F8 or F11 depending on your Visual Studio version) to see if it executes the play.

yes thank you. the tip was great :-)
the value is retrieved correctly ("True" or "False"). I have modified then the value from "1" to "True", this Make it work. Simple!

many thanks again
