Good one Debbie.
That seems to work and the combo boxes read.

This is what worked for me.
With Jaws 5.0 on the downloads page, press insert f5.
Arrow down and enter on US download location choose a platform.
This will place you in the field and automatically turns forms mode on.
Then press alt down arrow.
Arrow down to for example windows, then tab once.
Again, in the "then" combo box press alt down arrow and pick your =
product.
Enter on the product and the download will start.

I went to check out this website.
I can arrow through the products using the alt-down-arrow to pen the =3D
list box but jaws is not reading what they are.
It merely says 2 of seventeen, 3 of seventeen and so on.
Using Jaws 5.0, IE-6, windows xp professional.
I tried turning of the virtual cursor and still jaws did not see what =
=3D
the products were.

No David, I don't think that will make any difference.

Tried enter to open the combo box and alt down-arrow to make a =3D
selection, it
does allow me to skip the first selection but then the link is =3D
activated on
the second one, even though I did not release the alt key or hit up =3D
arrow.
There are 17 choices, that leaves 15 of which I can not seem to scan
through.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but each suggestion has failed thus =
=3D
far.
But I am game, keep them coming.
Thanks a bunch to all of you

you have to press enter first and then press alt+down arrow to open the
list. once you are on the one you want, press alt+up arrow to close the
list and that will activate the link.
