Hey everyone, i know you guys will be able to give me the best advice about this. (i almost started on a wild goose chase for JAWS scripts, but thought better of it.) i just installed Visual Studio 2003 on my brother's computer so that i can introduce him to VB.NET. i'm really surprised that JAWS behaves very well for selecting controls and adding them to the form, but performs very badly everywhere else. In the code window, it just keeps reading the path of the file instead of the text at the cursor. In the properties window, it reads the value repeatedly (i guess because it's actually refreshing, though i can't tell visually). How do you guys get around this problems? Does anyone here use this version of Visual Studio, or should we be using something more accessible? Thanks so much for the help, dusty....... _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.
