Re: needing help with Microsoft Access 2016?
Paul Hunt <prhunt1@...>
Hello Dacia. Have you actually opened the Access database? Accessibility depends on whether your company used customized controls, etc. If they created a standard form, you should be able to access it. It's not difficult to find records. You access the find dialog with the Control+F short cut or locate it on the ribbon. For example, If you want to find a person with the last name of Smith, put your cursor in the last name field and activate the Find dialog box. Type the name Smith and Activate either the ok or find next button. Just tab through the dialog and you will find the correct button to activate. Press the escape key and you'll be on the proper record. Do you know if the company has created any master/detail relationships, If they have, you'll locate the customer in the master record first then use the Control+Tab keystroke to move through the master record until you get to the detail record. Also, as with any other office application, get to know your ribbons. I hope this helps.

Re: asining key board commands to different keys?

Richard, Yes that one is duplicated with the extended up arrow and the insert key but the number pad 7 is not right there with the extended arrow keys. Not easy to reach for that information. Too bad you can’t have all three i.e. both insert keys and the cap lock at the same time as modifiers. I am thinking that a new keyboard layout would be the way to go but that is going to take a lot more time and knowledge that I don’t have yet. Thanks Shannon

that keystroke works with the standard up arrow key. If you have the capslock key set to work like the insert key, you could do capslock plus the regular up arrow. I use the NumPad insert plus the regular up arrow all the time.
But you could keep your hands off the numpad by using the capslock.

The books can cost $15 to $45 individually. You can get a membership with 1 credit a month, which will get you most books, for $14.95 per month. Or, a Gold membership gets 12 credits at once for $149.50, which brings your per credit price down to about $12.59. There is also a Platinum membership that get 24 credits at once, but trying to read 24 books a year from one source is nothing I've tried to accomplish. All the details are on their web site.

Re: asining key board commands to different keys?

Jeff, Yes I want to keep my hands off that number pad. This can be problematic when in this program. If I accidentally press a number it will override the data in the cell. I want to be able to read what is there then be able to choose to change it with the number pad if needed. I am finding that I have to keep jumping in and out of the different curser modes and numbers on and off frequently. I don’t know why but the insert numpad8 reads 3 of the five fields and the numpad 7 reads the other two fields. I didn’t want to change everything about the set up but make a different set of keys that would do the same thing using only the modifiers and letter keys. I would like it if maybe I could just use them in this program alone but if I can’t well… I am used to WE and the only time you used the number pad to read anything was when using the mouse. Easy enough to do. With Jaws you use all those keys all the time to manipulate all of the cursers.
I have toyed with the idea of using the differentiate between number pad arrows and the “extended” arrow keys but I am not sure how that would work. I might have to remap all the key functions off that number pad.

Re: Using JAWS to download book from Audible.Com
If you have an iPhone (I assume Audible would also be accessible on Android) I can only recommend to use the Audible app. As was pointed out already, on the iPhone the app is super accessible and it's super easy to listen to all your books. I have been an Audible member since 2010 I think and have probably 700 or 800 books by now and I can easily find and download any of them by author or title and listen or re-listen to them. The app let's you go directly to any chapter, you can skip by chapter or by time interval and there is a built-in sleep timer and if you have any Airplay enabled speakers or an Apple TV you can also Airplay your book to those.

OT Win for web accessibility.
Randy Barnett <randy@...>
Unfortunatly it is taking lawsutes but the web will be getting more accessible if this continues.
On June 13th, 2017, a Federal Court in Florida ruled that American supermarket chain, Winn-Dixie, violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by not making their website accessible to disabled users. This wasn’t the first court to determine that not maintaining an accessible website (defined as WCAG 2.0 AA Compliant) violated nondiscrimination laws; a California State Court ruled similarly in 2016. However, it is the first Federal Court to do so, and there are strong implications for other ADA Web Accessibility lawsuits and upcoming DOJ legislative updates addressing web accessibility. The ruling in Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., Case No. 1:16-cv-23020 (S.D. Fla.), gave credence and legal precedent to the long-used argument that a company’s website should be considered a “public accommodation,” as defined by the ADA, if a “nexus” can be proven between the company’s physical locations and its website (even if they do not sell any goods on the site.) This holds true for most companies providing products and services through websites and apps, and has potential to affect tens of thousands of businesses across retail, financial services, transportation, hospitality, entertainment, etc. If you are an organization offering goods and services to the public and maintaining a website related to your core offering, you may be at risk. Here are three things to consider in thinking about how the Winn-Dixie case affects your business, and what you can do now to avoid a similar outcome: 1. Does This Affect Me / Am I Compliant? Regardless of what type of organization you are, this decision has implications that affect your web presence. Many, if not most, organizations have argued that they are not held to any web accessibility compliance by laws like the ADA, and have subsequently been sued and hit with major legal costs. This ruling offers precedence that will inevitably help push legislation to incorporate WCAG 2.0 standards as the benchmark. It is wise to begin planning out your accessibility governance strategy now, rather than face the almost-certain backlash later. To begin thinking about your organization’s digital accessibility strategy and roadmap, you must first assess how compliant your websites and apps are against the internationally-accepted standards – WCAG 2.0. Many organizations start by using free online tools to assess accessibility on webpages: a good baseline to get an idea of the standards. For an organization with limited IT resources and internal accessibility expertise, it is paramount to get a comprehensive manual audit done by an expert to guide your initial remediation. 2. What Do I Need to Do to Become Accessible? After initially assessing how compliant your sites and apps are, you need to focus on building an all-inclusive accessibility policy for your organization (complete with accessibility statements on each of your sites and a dedicated customer service channel for users with disabilities who cannot access your sites and apps.) In that policy, you must outline everything you are doing as an organization to address accessibility, including an estimated timeline for the initiative. Often times, this includes some combination of WCAG 2.0 auditing, user testing validation, design and development training, consulting support, an accessibility testing platform, or another technology platform that creates an accessible version of your sites. 3. What Do I Need to Do to Maintain Accessibility? There is no finish line for digital accessibility. Even if you’ve strategized accessibility, built out your accessibility policy, completed your initial remediation, and had it all validated as usable by users with representative abilities, your work is not done. Once you reach a point of compliance, any changes to your sites and apps subsequently have to consider accessibility, or you’ll be right back at square one shortly. To ensure you maintain digital accessibility, you must take steps to fully integrate accessibility into your software development lifecycle and certify that all team members working on your sites and apps stick to it. Regardless of how you go about it, you must continue to address accessibility in perpetuity. Since the Department of Justice (DOJ) made an advanced notice of suggested legislative changes to the ADA to address web accessibility in 2010, there has been a slow but steady movement towards an accessible web for all, and it is only just beginning. From the DOJ to the DOT to the FCC to the OCR, most legislative bodies have web accessibility on their radar, and most cautious and aware organizations with a web presence do as well. Forward-thinking companies should make sure that accessibility is a top-priority – Winn-Dixie was just the start. Web Accessibility Josef Pevsner Josef Pevsner

Re: asining key board commands to different keys?
Tom Lange
Hi, Offhand, I haven't a clue how you would set that up, especially for just one application. Are there other keystroke combinations that you want to change, or just the insert+up arrow on the num pad? If there are other combinations that you find troublesome, why not change to the laptop layout while you're in the app, then switch back to the desktop layout when you're finished. It may be more hassle than it's worth, especially if you're bouncing in and out of that window all the time, but hey, I thought I'd throw that out as a possible suggestion anyway.
