Greetings, I am using one of the library data bases at UMKC and am having a challenge that I wonder if someone can give me some suggestions on what to try. I freely admit that I am not an expert JAWS user either. In the data base that I am using there are multiple drop down boxes on a single row of text. I can move around to the different drop down boxes, however, I cannot get JAWS to read me the drop down boxes using either the PC curser nor the Jaws curser. =20 In another row of drop down boxes on a different screen it will read the entire line of text on the row, but not the individual drop down boxes and the unique text within one drop down box. =20 The third problem is that I cannot get JAWS to read even what the options are in any of the drop down boxes. =20 How can I get Jaws to read the text in one drop down box and the options within the drop down box. Using the arrow keys, up and down, has not worked either.=20 If there is something I can do navigate this I would love to learn. I would also like to know if, on the other hand, it is a configuration problem with the data base. thanks in advance for your guidance.
