Have you tried using right and left arrows instead of the tab key after pressing alt-n?

While Alt + N does bring focus to the notification bar, all JAWS reads at that point is the button caption that is currently selected. It does not read any message or query that might be in the notification bar. Attempting to tab to the text to get JAWS to read it only moves the focus away from the notification bar requiring another Alt + N to get back to it. Thanks anyway.
