Hi Dave; That is what I meant. For so long I have always been told it was the verboscity menu but, I know when you press the Insert + V keystroke it says " Jaws Options ". I guess being pretty much self taught a person can pick up some bad habits. Thanks for jumping in and straightening me out. Take care. Mike, It's tax time! Remember folks, if you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S ". That spells THEIRS! ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 8:23 PM Subject: Re: Forms Mode Actually not the verbosity setting, but the JAWS Options dialog accessed with the Insert+V key. Good catch, though. Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike & Barbara To: jfw list Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 20:09 Subject: Forms Mode Hi Tom; I just had a thought. Did you check your verboscity settings? If " sounds " is turned off under Forms Mode there that could explain why your sounds aren't working for opening & closing forms / edit fields. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike, It's tax time! Remember folks, if you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S ". That spells THEIRS!
