Hi Ed,
interested in your comment that there are lots of video errors in jaws 5
compared to 4..
Have you raised this with F S.
I've had to keep 4.5 just because jaws 5 will not read access 97 as well as
it does. When I raised that one, I was told that there was no more
development work going to be done with access 97.
I had bought smas so would have had to upgrade anyway, but, there is a
warning to people.
If you've got a choice, don't just upgrade without looking at what you are
getting.
Tom
