Margaret, JAWS 7.0 has settings files already created for the advanced find dialogue, but they don't seem to be there for 7.10. I copied the 7.0 files to the 7.10 file location just to see what would happen, and it seemed to give the functionality you are looking for. I haven't gone into any detail on this, so maybe there are good reasons Freedom Scientific didn't include these files with 7.10!
Here's how I did it: 1. In My Computer I went to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.0\SETTINGS\enu. I think the enu at the end of that indicates a UK user; if you have a US install it may be eng. 2. Select all file that begin with "outlook express 5-6". I got eight files. 3. Copy them to C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\7.10\Settings\enu, replacing "username" with your account string and using eng at the end if that's what you used in step 1.

JAWS 7.0 helpfully announces check box not checked to remind me to hit the space bar and does not announce list box, but hitting space in the list box would be the same as hitting space to check a check box. Now, a problem I'm having with Advanced Find in OE with JFW 7.1 is that the number of unread messages resulting from the search is correctly announced with Insert-pg down, but JAWS does not announce "Unread" in the message list view. This worked properly in 7.0 here. I remember that, for some reason, Advanced Find is somehow considered to be part of XP Home and is not really part of OE or at least that was the way it was with Win 98. At any rate I seem to be having to configure things like muting the escape key again after hitting Control-Shift-F after I've already done them in OE. Any help in getting "Unread" in the message list view after doing the Advanced Find command would be appreciated. Thanks, Margaret Steve wrote: Margaret, When you get to what JAWS reports is the "Received after: list box", you are actually on a control that contains a checkbox, today's date and a date picker. I don't know a way of using the date picker with the keyboard. If you want to specify dates as part of your search criteria, press SpaceBar to check the checkbox and then RightArrow to the date. I'm set to European dates which are expressed as date, month, year; if you're set to US style dates you may get month, date, year. For each of them you can effect changes with UpArrow, DownArrow or by typing a new number. Does that work for you?

So far, I've been unable to use the time frame part of the dialogue. When I do a Control-Shift-F and tab to the time frame part, JAWS 7 says received after and something that sounds like day time ticker July 24 2007 and not checked. I can check the box and change the date if I want. However, with 7.10.500, JAWS says received after list box July 24 2007 and I'm unable to check it and change the date for the search for messages during a specific time frame. Any ideas on how to get this to work as in 7.0 will be greatly appreciated.
