Stephanie,

VFP doesn't create normal windows objects for the controls. The screen reader is probably expecting them to be able and process the properties. If the Jaws program has an API that you can call from the GotFocus you may be able to hook the VFP app into the screen reader program. You may want to contact the company that wrote Jaws.

>We've developed a VFP application for a client who has a sight-impaired person working for them. This person is able to use computer software by utilizing a screen reader program called "Jaws for Windows", version 3.0. This software actually reads the screen to the user. This software is not working well at all with our VFP application, with particular problems dealing with information in grids. Does anyone know who I can talk with further about how to make a VFP application accessible to visually-impaired users?
