Thanks all for the help.
GetObjectFromEvent is reliably giving me an object I can navigate.
Hopefully my last question on this for a while:
I need to focus a table that is 12 branches deep in the tree. I don’t suppose
there is a simple way to find a particular object in the tree?

GetObjectFromEvent is the JAWS way to emulate AccessibleObjectFromWindow in
MSAA itself. When GetFocusObject doesn't give you enough, GetObjectAtPoint
using getCursorRow/Col for coordinates might. Be careful with that, but it
might sometimes help. You can also call .accFocus on an MSAA object once you
have one, but beware you could get an object or a childID back, or of course
nothing; and you also might get a copy of the object you called it
against I think. In some cases, I've had to call .accFocus repeatedly to get
to the innermost focused object or simple element.

Bob, you can try:
Let o = getObjectFromEvent (GetFocus(),-4,0,returnedObjectID)

I have found how to move up down and across the MSAA object tree but I am
struggling to create an object reliably in the first place.
Depending on where focus is GetFocusObject and GetCurrentObject don???t
always
return an object.
Does anyone have a reliable method to get a start point in the MSAA tree? I
don???t mind navigating manually once i am in as long as the start is
reliable.

I have always avoided using it but it looks like I am going to have to
give myself a crash course in it this week!
Thanks
