You will probably be all right if all you are doing is entering information into Microsoft Access, assuming that they have an accessible front end. You may run into trouble if you are planning on writing access databases. I hope this helps.

I think using accessible Microsoft tables is better for screen readers!

One tip. Reading field names as you tab over them doesn't work in Advanced verbosity; back it off just a notch and it'll work fine.

Jaws doesn't have a lot of help with Access, but there are Microsoft hot keys. Someone suggested using SQL with the Access databases. would that work? You can read the Access stuff, it's the development that's the problem.

There has been several such requests over the last couple of years; perhaps one of the techies monitoring this list might pick it up. Cheers Kevin.

You may want to do some test-driving on your own, if possible. MS-Access is not very accessible with JAWS, and has not been for several major versions. FS does not have any scripts to help, either, unless very recently developed. Dave Carlson Oregonian, Musician, Woodworker, and Pioneer
