The mistery has been solved thanks to Matt Kiazyk’s tip about the toolbar.It is the Universal Toolbar that’s screwed up. Why I do not know but after removing it the beeping stopped.
Thx, now I can remove my ear plugs and be social again with my colleagues
Am I glad I found this post (albeit years later). I also found that removing the UT worked, but then wondered what in it was the problem. Through trial and error I discovered, for me at least, it was the ‘edit document’ button in the toolbar which caused the beeping. I don’t know why, unless every time you click on something it tries to access the button by default. Anyway, thanks again.
I also have been traumatized by this problem, however, it’s not my Universal toolbar that’s causing the problem.
Mine is caused by a custom toolbar that I built to replace all the others. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out just which button ON that toolbar is causing the problem. Hiding the bar seems to make it go away though.
