To be more accurate VB6 has a Beep subroutine, not a function.
This isn’t related to the Kernel32 Beep entrypoint at all, and works just as well in Vista as in Windows 7, XP, or Windows 95.
It plays the “Default Beep” sound from the user’s Windows sound scheme. If the system has no sound card it should beep via the motherboard speaker the same way this sound is played for anything else in Windows that invokes it.
It is just a generic audible alert. It probably was only included for use by old, old MS Basic programs being ported forward into VB.
