Thanks for this Mike.

So reading from you're code I presume GetObjectState () doesn't except any 
arguments, one has to be focused upon the object in question? I'm just 
trying to think how else one would point JAWS towards it. I guess I should 
really consult the documentation for this particular function, but as I've 
just come in from sunning myself feeling a bit hazy at the moment *Smile*.

Mark
