Brian,

a ControlEditTextProc is not similar to a regular FB edit field. Under 
the Appearance Button entry (in the online help), you could find how to 
get the string stored in such a control, which is done by using a 
built-in function, namely ButtonTextString$. So, I think you should have 
written the following:


txt$ = FN ButtonTextString$( _SpeakTxt )

Alternatively, you could extract the string using the routine DEF 
GetButtonData, but it is a bit more cumbersome to program.
