Hi. well, never had this problem, when i had vs 2008. when i using vs 2005, when i type, in the code editor, and when i hit the space bar, or use the . letter, jaws does not say any thing. and wondering, if there is some setting in the scripts i need to change, got it set to highlight and punctuation to all. so, also wonder if there are some setting i need to change in vb. if this issue is not resolved, might have to contact fs about this one. cheers Marvin. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
