Nancy,
Don't know if this will help. I'm using window eyes. With this program to activate a combo box, one hits enter on the box to begin the process, then you hold the alt key while pressing the down arrow key to drop the combo box down. After that you can use the arrow keys as usual to locate the item you want. Might this be your problem? Again, I'm not familiar with jaws' methodology. 

Steve

Hi Rob,

Checking the summarize uncleared transaction was the answer.

I am now able to summarize all the entries in my accounts.

One other question.
Is anyone else having trouble using their internet banking?
I use US bank, and Jaws 8. I used to be able to go to the down load account info link and with the combo box choose what account to down load from. Now when I go to the combo box, as soon as I attempt to use the down arrow after hitting the space bar, The cursor jumps back to the top of the web page. I'm 
unable to select the account to down load from or the software to use.

Thank you.

Nancy

Nancy:
There is no way to get the bank's running balance in the balance column when 
using the restricted view. When restricting, the balance is the running
balance of the transactions in the view. So, if you are looking at a
restricted view, the account starting balance is ignored, and the balance at 
the top of the view before accounting for the first transaction is 0.00.

This may seem odd at first, but it allows you to see the net of all
tranactions of a specific type or types. For example, I can quickly see how much I spent on food in the last 4 years, or how much I took out of the ATM 
this month.
The category summary only works if your transactions contain category info. 
There is also a box which controls whether or not cleared transactions are
included in category summaries. You might have better luck with the
Credit/Debit summary.

Now can anyone tell me how to use the restrict by date, and still have the
bank balance appear.

Also I'm still having trouble using the category summary with all accounts
accept the personal account.
Maybe all of you who use jaws know this command but I just learned that if I 
type the letter c on an internet page I can more quickly find the accounts
information. It works to.

Thanks for all the help.

Nancy

I keep all of my transactions from past years but when it comes time to do
my taxes, I create a duplicate copy called 2006.mtf and then delete from it all transactions before and after that year. In this way I have the best of 
both worlds - searching all activity at any time for my account, but being
able to create subsets for special purposes.
