Rob, I think you need to go to reginal settings in control panel, and make sure your calendar is set up as dd/mm/yyyy and you also can change the time format from 12 to 24 hour if you like. I noticed that if you change the time and or the date it is reflected in the insert f12 command with jaws.

I believe there you can dictate the default date format. I'm using XP pro by the way.

When I press JAWS key + F12 twice with JAWS 12, I get only the day, month and year, not the day of the week. In fact, to get the day of the week for any date that you choose randomly, would I think need a program specially developped to do that. One may well exist, but I am not acquainted with it. The GetLocalTime function will fill a systemtime structure with information about the current moment, and that includes the day of the week. I hope that this helps at least a bit.

It's fine to have the date but I'd also like to know what day any calendar date is. Bob
