The survey actually worked better for me out of browse mode. When I got to the radio buttons, I was able to read the text related to the radio buttons with the mouse pointer. This is par for the course with WE. The text is somewhat related to the combo box, however it doesn't hurt to b cautious. Vic

The arrow keys worked just fine for me and the combo boxes were not a problem. In a couple of places there were radio buttons that seemed redundant with the combo boxes but, as they did not speak, this is a guess on my part. What I couldn't say for sure is whether the quirks were due to W E or to the survey's construction.

I did also have to use the mouse to read the questions related to the radio buttons and some check boxes with one exception. I could not simply route the mouse to the control. I had to read up from the bottom of the screen to find the questions. We would not find it's way down from the top with the mouse.

Tried the questionaire with NVDA and it read the question out before the radio buttons.
