Hi, What prompted this thread for me is my trying to obtain caption and summary via the IAccessibleTable interface. By convention using name and description is fine but doesn't really seem to correctly implement IAccessibleTable and is only somewhat intuitive. I like the idea of having the get_summary and get_Caption return a variant with either the text or the IAccessible. Brett

It appears AT want to get summary and caption (not a name or description since they can be different). Brett, do you have scenarios to share? Thank you. Alex.
