This forum is intended for the interaction of SAS with Assistive Technologies like Screen Readers, Voice Recognition Programs, and Screen Magnifiers. <BR /> <BR /> Perhaps you can try posting against the "SAS procedures" forum. It is much more active and someone there might have more information or be able to point you to the right direction.
