    I looked there and couldn't find a way to include the day in the format.

      Since some of us (me included *do* hear the day of the week with 
Insert+F12 twice, I think the answer is in the control panel, under regional 
settings then standards and format/customize/Date page. I believe there you can 
dictate the default date format.

      I'm using XP pro by the way.

        Hi Robert,

        What you are asking – the day of the week as compared with the current 
date – is not readily available.  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

        How do I get Jaws and Windows xp to tell me the day of the week?  It's 
fine to have the date but I'd also like to know what day any calendar date is.
