The mouseover stuff is pretty easy, but is there anything in vfp to play the sound? Would you just store each phrase as a .wav?

>Haha....no, I'm serious! You could have the MouseOver for controls kick out speech like "Print button" and over databound controls it could say "First name is John". You could also have a VerbalSynopsis property for the Form that, when set on, could say a verbal synopsis of what is displayed when the record pointer is moved.
