Andre, there are many ways, depending on the app. Moving to a window handle or control ID, doing a findstring(), Looking for a particular window class & control ID combination, going thru the window or object hierarchy--those are just a few for starters. I can't really be more definitive because, as I said, it really depends on the application & how it's structured. I'd recommend u study the basics of scripting manual included in the Jaws help topics, as well as some of the jaws scripts which are located in the settings/enu directory of your jaws folder. My scripting 101 materials are also available for purchase at: www.screenreaderscripting.com if u feel the other materials aren't sufficient to meet your needs.
