Hi All,

I would like to hear from anyone who knows if the later versions of
JAWS, I have version 8!
works better with Access 2003 as:

JAWS fails to read the "Show" and "Criteria" fields in design view.

JAWS fails to set up relationships in either design view using Control +
shift + J, or in relationships using Control + shift + C.  Plus when a
relationship is set using the mouse pointer (by a sighted person), JAWS
fails to announce the relationship when selecting the related field from
a table.

I have also found that when scanning across a large datasheet, JAWS
fails to announce the column header when the column was initially out of
view.

Last and worst of all, if there is a glitch, and there have been a few,
JAWS fails to speak until Access has been completely closed down.
Meaning the software should be called Job Access Without Speech!

Has anyone had scripts written to improve the usability of JAWS with
Access 2003?

Cheers

Regards

Dave Ankers
