Hi Crystal, Debbie here:
Dialog boxes are those boxes that contain, combo boxes, list boxes, edit
fields, etc. A couple examples are the "open file" dialog box, and the "font"
dialog box. Dialog boxes require you to make selections from lists, radio
buttons, or check boxes.
An example of a message box would be when you close an application and you are
asked if you want to save your work. In this case, you are makeing a yes or no
choice, or ok or cancel choice. These are usually read by JAWS. The message
boxes I rarely get read to me are usually error message boxes.
Hope I haven't confused you. I wasn't trying to criticize you as much as to
see where you were having difficulty.
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
I am not sure what message boxes are, or how they would be different from
dialog boxes?
Sometietimes, it is as simple as a box needing an okay button, or, dialogs
associated with various programs.
As an example, I just downloaded and update to Omni Page, and a dialog came
up requesting that I put my cd in the drive. Jaws pretty much only wanted
to read the buttons, but not all the information in the dialog.
This seems to be happening a lot.
Crystal
