torturedmind,

A couple of places to start. You may want to take a look up "accessibility" technologies as well that are used for sight-impaired users. Not exactly sure what you are trying to do here yet.

Thanks to all your responses and suggestions. What i really want to do is for the user to acknowledge the result of a simple operation thru sound. Much like hearing the computer saying "You can't do that, Ms. X." (or Mr. Y) whoever is logged-in in the app.

i just finished installing several text-to-speech OCX controls that i've downloaded from the net. and am still downloading that hefty Speech SDK 5.1 from Microsoft's site. but i already experimented with the ones that i've just installed and they worked just fine. i know it's not much but it's a start. thanks for pointing me to the right direction. here's a star to you mr. slighthaze sir. and thanks too mr. ramani...

torturedmind,

If you have found any good freeware OCX/DLL for accomplishing speech I would be interested in the link(s). Thanks.

Note: Ramani's command:

DO Form HOME(2)+"Solution\Ffc\Agent.scx"

Should work if you are using VFP 7.0 or 8.0, earlier versions will require so coding on your own, but the code is pretty easy if you have the Agents installed.
