Tom, have u checked the relevant help file regarding this? It's in the
Jaws help topics under customizing jaws > frame viewer. There's a
troubleshooting section under that. There's a lot of stuff that can go
wrong w/frames (I personally am not a huge fan for a variety of
reasons, but, yeah, sometimes they're good). U say u have the app
open, so that's likely not a consideration. Your next consideration is
the validation rules, so you'll need to check the frames' properties
to make sure that the rules are what u need them to be. Specifically,
sometimes these rules contain document titles, for example, which
means they won't work when another document is loaded. You'll also
need to check that the application's settings are in fact enabled in
the jaws manage applications settings dialog.

1 of the reasons I'm not a huge fan of frames is that they're
seriously resolution-dependent; thus, if u created a frame while the
app was maximized & then tried to make it work while the app is in the
restored state, it won't.

I've also had situations where I created frames for an ap, & when it
was updated, of course the blippin things didn't work. W/that, I
actually ended up havin to delete 'em & start over.

The reason I asked u to take a long hard look at that help file is
simply because, as u get into the guts of how frames work, it also
kind of tips u off to what could be going haywire.

HTH.
