Given some of the tricks I mentioned yesteray, you may be able to make it sort of accessible but in an entirely clunky manner.
Databases are one of the application sectors, along with accounting and a few other somewhat sophisticated applications that people need to get higher paying jobs and promotions at companies where they currently work. It is a failure of high priced AT vendors, free software (orca, NVDA) and Apple with VoiceOver. Once upon a time, JAWS did work with Access but they stopped keeping the effort alive as few customers requested - the sad thing was that these users all needed it for their jobs which were put into peril due to this strategic decision at FS. The "90%" rule bites us in the butt again. cdh On Dec 4, 2009, at 5:08 PM, John W.
