I'll be interested in anything you find out.  When consulting the
Popular applications help section, I discovered that many of the old
JAWS keys no longer work in 11.  If you can't do something as simple as
read a field in Table mode, you're in big trouble.

Incidentally, what brand hardware do you use?  That's another of my pet
theories.  HJ tells me it has no trouble with Access, and I wonder if
it's not a hardware incompatibility--perhaps a BIOS problem peculiar to
a brand or brands. I use HP.  It could even be certain video cards.  Our
IT guy swapped out a card for me a couple of weeks ago, and there have
been certain notable performance differences with the new card and
drivers.

While in the program, press insert-f1-f1.  This should put you into 
the JAWS help for Access.  Included are any settings the JFW folk 
think will help, as well as a link to the JAWS keys for reading 
Access.  Seems to me control-shift-d tells you table attributes, but 
it's been a while since I used Access so that may have changed.

Good luck!
