Ah, but there is, in fact, an easy way to get the day of the week for any date 
up to two years into the future.  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.

  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.
