Re: Jaws and Microsoft Access

JAWS as far as I know has never really supported Access. The way you can tell is that Henter Joyce which is the company that developed JAWS as well as Freedom Scientific, which is a merge of three companies, have never released any training material for Access nor conducted a webinar.

yep, "the snowman". he also made some other scripts for programs that he used and made them available for a price for others to use.

Jim Snowbarger, I think. But not sure he did scripting beyond that for audio
and music-related apps. Could be wrong, and he did develop the Hot Spot

Okay you old timers. Question: What was the name of the individual that
wrote so many scripts for JAWS? I am thinking his name had something to do
with snow. Does anyone remember?

Thanks Dave, hopefully that user will chime in. Any ideas on how I can get a
hold of those scripts for older JAWS versions.

Thanks

FS stopped script development for MS-Access several versions ago; I
think around JAWS 7. You might get some help with that version if you
can find the scripts and recompile them for the current version.
Another user on this list has been struggling with MS-Access for years;
perhaps he'll chime in.

Yes, there is practically no material available for developing apps in
Access (or any VBA based).

I'm using common windows controls and appears the properties need to
be modified for JAWS. Some examples of issues Im having are:
- a password Textbox field, JAWS echoes the characters typed in and
not asterisk
- radio buttons (in an Option Group) when checked, JAWS reads as
Not-checked (and vice-versa)
- cannot Tab to the heading of a Tab control

Anyone else gone down this road?

Thanks

on Access. It is like Access just fell by the wayside.

Hi ,
Is there any documentation or sample code out there for making MS
Access applications 508 compliant and/or readable with JAWS ?

Thanks
