Tom,

I hate to tell you how long it took me to remember to use that technique, 
and how many partially filled forms I left hanging in cyber-space because I 
didn't remember it.  It was one of the first things I learned about using 
JAWS, but it just got buried in all the other things I had to absorb.  I'm 
glad it solved your problem.

Steve
