Thanks guys. This works.

Many of the JAWS functions treat backslash (\) as a special character to escape other characters. To get these functions to actually pass the backslash (\) character, it is necessary to use the character twice. Try the line below instead. PlaySound ("C:\\SayHi.wav") If that does not work, I suggest that you paste the entire script into the message so we can better determine any irregularities. Don Marang There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.
