  If the status bar is static on the screen, you could try assigning a Jaws 
frame and associated keystroke to enable the user to read its contents.

  Hello David,

  I am a blind programmer, however, I am unfamiliar with Visual Basic, but if 
you don't find the answers you are looking for on this list, I suggest you try 
blindprogramming.com, which is a great resource for blind programmers. They 
also have a users group where you can get assistance. I know there are several 
members who are very knowledgeable with VB6. Good luck with your project!

  Best regards,

  Alan

  Hello!  I'm new to this list and need help.  I am a developer with
  Northrop Grumman CSC in Little Rock, Arkansas.  I am attempting to
  retrofit a vb6 application to State of Arkansas accessibility standards.
  I have at least three major problems.

  1)       JAWS does not appear to read Crystal Reports.  Is there a way
  to do this?

  2)       Jaws can read text in the MDI form status bar from child forms
  (because it remains active);  however the vb application, while using an
  MDI, does not use child forms, but rather programmatically controlled
  forms.  Is there a way to read from the MDI statusbar if not using child
  forms?

  3)       Jaws reads left-hand labels by controls, but when the controls
  and labels are on a frame with a frame caption, JAWS does NOT read the
  labels and instead reads the frame caption.  Is there a way to  get JAWS
  to read the labels on the frame?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
