you're right; I just tried it again and 1 out of 3 tries it did not speak
automatically. but it was focused on this control when it didn't speak, so
I did agree with your thinking that there's some odd timing issue.
so I looked at the code, and I see you select the first item in the list
after you make the control have the focus, and I wondered if the item was
already selected when the control got the focus, would that make it read all
the time? so I took the two lines you have, and I reversed them so the
selection of item 1 happens first, then the control gets focus, and in my
test I always heard it speak the first item every time! here are the two
lines I mean below; they are immediately after the sleep command:
dObj.Control("lvResults").Focus
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).Focused = True

Which is odd. Did it speak the first result automatically for you, though?
