Hi Ann,
Yes, I know that's how the thread got started, but from the sounds of
things according to Marilyn's last post I believe she may be having
another problem as well. My post was intended to help her figure out
why she is getting an error message even when the correct file name
has been manually entered into the edit field, not via the browse
bar. I understand that other screen access programs can have
difficulties with the browse bar, but that isn't a problem that is
going to be solved here, and I can see why Freedom Scientific
wouldn't want to make other screen access companies aware of how they
handled it. After all Freedom Scientific is a company trying to sell
their products, not help the competition sell their's.

Well, I ended up rejecting the book I was trying to upload. No
matter how hard I tried to browse or write the correct path of the
file it didn't work.
I continually got a file not found message. This happen even when
the correct file was in the edit field. I must have corrupted. If
it is in step one
I shall download it and fix the errors and send it back up. Next
time with better results hopefully.

Hi Dave,
No, this is *not* the issue. <smiling> Now I'm beginning to sound
like E., God bless her. The issue, for the hundredth time, is that
the control which comprises the edit field and the browse button, is
only truly visible to users of Jaws. If you use WE, you see this
control as a double edit box. It does not show up at all in System
Access. I realize that a good eighty percent of you use Jaws so the
issue doesn't apply to you, but it is most definitely one that needs
to be addressed. It is not, as I said in my former post, a bookshare
issue. It is an issue with all sites of this kind that have this
control. It is a general, pervasive, important issue concerning web
accessibility!
As for file-names, I couldn't agree more! In fact, one of the
things in the proposed Wiki should be a note about file naming conventions.
Dave is right. A file name should contain no spaces, and no
additional punctuation like apostrophes or whatever. One should use
either dashes or underscores between the words of the
file-name. Computers running operating systems other than Windows
have a hard time with file-names that have spaces in them. Why
aggravate yourselves? Get used to writing file-names properly all
over your computer, and you won't have any more trouble.
