Hello All,

I am using scripts to extract information from IE forms. The forms are made 
up of combo boxes, edit fields, checkboxes ect.
I tend to use GetObjectName, GetObjectValue, GetObjectState to interrogate 
these and these form fields but I have come across a checkbox which I am 
unable to get the checked state.
This particualr checkbox is greyed out and cannot be checked or unchecked as 
this is already predetermined by the system, however, I still need to get 
the object state. I have tried GetObjectState but this does not return a 
value. The only way I have been able to get a value is to use the invisible 
cursor or the Jaws cursor which return either "corner" or "check mark". I am 
finding this method unreliable, sometimes the cursor will not pickup either 
state.
Has anyone else had experience of this? Maybe someone has another suggestion 
of getting the checkbox state.

Look forward to your thoughts..

Regards,

Mike
