Barry,
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
The guy I had cost a fortune and knew very little about Jaws I can tell you.
I've learned far more either from friends or from the Jaws list.
Best wishes,
Joan.

I would like to know how access companies come up with a price for service
and training. £400+ a day seems rather excessive. I also wonder if 'a day'
is actually 8 hours. When I first bought a computer six years ago I paid
£500 for two days set up and training with Jaws. The guy turned up at
around ten o'clock and left at around three o'clock. That's £50 an hour...
and I was obliged to give him lunch. At the time, this was considerably
cheaper than other companies too.
I understand that the training that these people undertake is expensive
although this guy told me that he taught himself Jaws by reading the help
files.
