Jen:

Last fall I took a micro computer applications course and there was a small portion of the class that was on Access and I could not figure anything out with Access and JAWS. I was having my reader do most of the mouse clicks because the textbook will walk you through the steps on how to do it with a mouse; however, if you are using the keyboard to access the computer with JAWS there are no step by step directions. It is frustrating and I have been struggling. I will learn this program if it is the last thing I do. Grin. Access is going to be the death of me for sure. I just really wanted to find out if I am doing something wrong or this program is as difficult as it seems.

Alicia:

I appreciate you jumping in and asking considering later on this semester
I'll be learning Access as well, and wondered about its accessibility. I'll
take a peek in the Help menus and see what I can find regarding hotkeys etc
for this particular program. <grin> I am using Office 2003 and JFW 7.1 with
XP Home.

Hello, Everyone:

I am taking a class on Access and I was starting with a tutorial about how
to do the basics in Access. The problem is that it was geared towards the
sighted user with a mousse and was very difficult to understand with JAWS.
Does anyone know how accessible Access is with JAWS and if there are any
Access tutorials with JAWS? I looked on the FS website and did not find
anything about Access.

Thanks,

Alicia
