[bcab] Re: Progress 4 database & Jaws

Further to my recent email, I'm not surprised she is having problems. We have a help desk support database written in Progress, and its a nightmare. Fortunately, I can avoid using it, but if I do, I normally use its import tool in conjunction with Excel.

Dave,

Thanks for responding, I must admit I thought it would be a long
shot finding anyone who had any knowledge of this app. She did say Progress
4, but otherwise gave no information.

She needs to use it as part of a new job and, reading between the
lines, I think must be finding it hard going.

Would you have any objections to my passing your email address to
her? You're the only person I've come across with any experience at all of
this.

Regards,
Tink.

This is interesting. Its the second enquiry I've had about this in the last
week, although the other enquiry did not concern jaws.
Progress is a database similar to access, i.e. applications can be writeen
using an ide which comes with the product. Progress 4 sounds a bit old to me
as they're on about version 8. Is this lady wishing to develop applications
using progress, or use an application written using progress. It used to be
reasonably accessible, but its a number of years since I used it. If she is
a developer, there are certainly a number of documentation disks which
contain documents written in accessible pdf format. The other difficulty is
this:
There is another product called progress which is an accounts database with
various other extentions. I've had some experience importing from this, but
as to accessibility, I haven't a clue.

Dave.

Good evening,

I received an enquiry this evening, from a lady using Jaws and a
database application called Progress 4.

If anyone has any knowledge of this database, could suggest any
training or tutorials for a Jaws user, or could offer any advice on
using it, it would be tremendously helpful. I've never come across
this database before and am at something of a loss as to how I can help.

Thanks,
Tink.
