Chad, thanks. Let me play w/this & see wussup. This app is really very poorly written--definitely MSAA was not in their vocabulary--& I'll have to see if I can force the issue. Actually, I think I resolved it yesterday w/a time delay, but I wanna delve into this further. It's actually a really weird program, probably cuz there's a lot of legacy code from version to version, etc. I put home row on, & there's combo boxes that can't be found w/any kind of scripting, though they appear when navigating the home row, but they don't contain info--I think some1 somewhere just needs to go thru & cut out a lot of crap, but it aint gonna happen so the best I can do is struggle to make a poorly written app as accessible as possible. It's a music program, & that always makes it a bit more problematic. I'd written scripts for it previously but 4 years later they were broken by changes in the program. So, it's pretty much a rewrite. Catch me off list so I can hear more about how u r.
