More research yields more info. Turns out, that script didn't do diddly, even if I changed the assigned-to key to Alt+F1 or something like that. The script executes just fine, my debug message speaks, but the window containing the field name message does not speak. I also noticed something very interesting about this application generally. Without any scripting, the first field speaks its field name correctly when tabbed to, but none of the subsequent ones do. They are all located just to the left of the data entry area and are all of the same color, so that can't be it. Your thoughts gratefully and graciously accepted. I'll hold off on any more development until I hear from someone because frankly, I'm stumped. __________� View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
