Hello Ron, and others, The way I have always opened links is to position my curser on them. Then do a JAWS Key F7 Tab once . This "Moves to Link" Tab again This "activates" the link then hit Enter I have opened links like this since JAWS 3.3 Best Regards, Alan Miami, Florida Alan Dicey, President United States Braille Chess Association - USBCA "Yes, Blind or Visually Impaired People Can, and Do, Play Chess!!!"United States Braille Chess Association Home Page: http://www.crisscrosstech.com/usbca/

I appreciate all your help. Still having probs, but it's better. All these upgrades and changes in technology don't help screen readers at all do they?

But is there any way we can set the computer to open it the same way as we do when pressing enter? I've looked for the security settings Christine, but can't find them to check. Appreciate your help.

I'm using Jaws 9 with Vista home and can't open links when I enter on them from within an open message in Outlook 2003. When I press Enter/return it just pings and nothing happends. Can anyone please tell me how I can rectify this? Many thanks in advance.
