This was a stupid error on my part, not even having to do with numbers. For whatever reason, vb6 can't play a wave file sampled at 22050 hz. It throws a fit and, like a toddler, doesn't tell you why. The file I successfully played was, of course, at the right sampling rate.

Ken, does VB6 provide arrays? If so, you could create an array of strings which hold your file names and then call an element of your array at random using a standard numerical random command. This way you wouldn't need to place numbers at the end of your file names.

I'm having a weird issue in vb6 when I try adding a number to the end of a sound file. If I tell dx8 that the file is called walk.wav, it does fine. If i say it's called walk3.wav though, i get an invalid procedure call. Anybody know how to handle this? I'm trying to randomize the footstep sounds.
