When I press the jaws key and f12 twice I get what I think of as the day of the 
week. Like today is Tuesday.  I am told Tuesday and then April 5th 2011.  Isn't 
Tuesday the day of the week or am I mis-understanding?

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.
