OOPSE, that was spozed to go to Dan only. Shows you what Sharepoint will do to you after a while I guess.

YO! Dan! I have no clue whether you have any experience or thoughts or whatever about this, but I'm not finding any help at this point, so... We use Sharepoint a lot for a bunch of different activities that I'm supposed to be taking over as a part of my job. It sucks. I have a situation for instance where I have a calendar I'm supposed to be managing, and the only way I've found so far to read it is with the Jaws cursor. And, sometimes, I can move down by screens by doing a control-pagedown, sometimes that just switches to the PC cursor. Sightlings can come and look at my screen and see the calendar, which is a spreadsheet, but I can't access it at all except with the Jaws cursor. I've read some stuff about Sharepoint, and the consensus is that it sucks and eats yellow snow, but it's what we use here and I have to figure out some way of accessing it. I've tried System Access to go, because, sometimes, it works better than Jaws on weird Excel spreadsheets, but the program just locks up when I try to move through a Sharepoint site. Do you think this is something where having somebody write scripts for Jaws might help. Any suggestions appreciated. This is not turning out well. William S.

I am just talking out of my blow hole here, since I have no direct experience here, but I am pretty certain that there are many programs available that are macro builders. You just give them a series of key strokes that you want to record, and they will replay them whenever that macro program is invoked. Probably a google search of "macro programming" will get some reasonable results. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
