I'll try that calender program.

Just download the free Calendar program that comes bundled with the WebbIE suite of applications. It is designed to work with JAWS and all other screen readers, and it's a great little appointment reminder as well. http://www.webbie.org.uk/calendar.htm Gerald ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian D.

When I press JAWS key + F12 twice with JAWS 12, I get only the day, month and year, not the day of the week. In fact, to get the day of the week for any date that you choose randomly, would I think need a program specially developped to do that. One may well exist, but I am not acquainted with it. The GetLocalTime function will fill a systemtime structure with information about the current moment, and that includes the day of the week. I hope that this helps at least a bit. All the best, Ian Ian D.

It's fine to have the date but I'd also like to know what day any calendar date is. Bob
