hi, and welcome to VBWORLD

to accomplish what you need, you will have to add a MS Agent Control to your program.

then put this code in the declerations:

Code:

---

Dim al As IAgentCtlCharacterEx
Const DATAPATH = "clippit.acs"

---

and this on the form load event:

Code:

---

  Agent1.Characters.Load "clippit", DATAPATH
    Set al = Agent1.Characters("clippit")
    al.LanguageID = &H409

---

now add 1 text box and a button to the form


code for button:

Code:

---

    clippit.Show
    clippit.Speak Text1.Text

---

now run your program, and if you have ms office installed the clip will appear and say what's in the text box when you click the button

Amazing man!
Do you know what kind of license I need to redistribute this agent with my apps?
All the lucky!
