Hi, Dennis. Here's my two cents worth....
Place field descriptions in fields in tables and captions for all fields
in forms. In this way JFW can be set up to read these because they will
appear in the status line as you tab through the fields. As a general rule
with access, when information is available to add for a description or a
caption, use it so that JFW can speak it to the user.
Hope this helps,
