John,

I was just pointing out the need to send arguments in order to methods because VFP doesn't allow named arguments like VB. I don't know the specifics of the API you are trying to use.

> You was using VFP to develop the speech.....do u find any function couldn't be run ??? If i want the speech engine to speak out "welcome ", should i initialise some other mode (like which voice) or just object.speak ("welcome") ???
