Thanks so much for your research. I will check it out. Eileen La Fond Phone (206) 386-0011 e.mail Eileen.LaFond@xxxxxxxxxxx >>> "Dorene Cornwell" <dorenefc@xxxxxxxxx> 8/18/2008 7:08 PM >>> Hi Eileen The topic interests me so I went tried various things on Goggle: JFW+Cognos (lots of stuff that is irrelevant but one inquiry from 2004. Might be worth tryint to contact this person.) //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw/03-2004/msg00389.html The main Cognos site mentions JFW 4.5 for Section 508 compliance in version 7 but nothing I could find fast for anyof the Ver 8 suite. http://support.cognos.com/en/support/products/environments.html A bug report with JAWS 5 http://cognos.cnyric.org/cognos/help/html/rm/en/sr_rdmtoc.html Searching on JAWS+Cognos yielded the above plus assorted irrelevant. When you get a new assignment like this, do you every just write the vendor and say basically what you posted to the list: "My team is taking over.... and will need to access it using JFW. What do I need to know to make it work?" I KNOW one might not expect much, but why not start from the reasonable request and see how they respond?
