Hi,
That's actually what we ended up doing, though it's not how the book
recommended. There were things I didn't realize, like to add a field you're
actually renaming it, not adding it, and that in design view all you have to
do is arrow to the right place and type in field names and there it goes.
changing the data type was rather interesting, as it's a combo box that
doesn't like any of the standard combo box commands, but once we figured out
we could use first letter navigation, it was much easier.
But yeah, it seems to work at least mostly the same way from what you've
described.
thanks again!

Good afternoon Christy,
I haven't used Access 2007, or any Access for a while. But, in Access
2007 is there still an option to edit tables in design view? If so, you
should be able to open your table in design view and then navigate through
the list of data fields.
Once you are at the bottom of the list you should be able to add a new
field. From Access 2003 there are three settings for each field.
1. field name
2. data type
3. Description (optional)
Hope that helps even a little bit,
Everett

I'm using jaws 9, Access 2007. I've already looked through the jaws help
on access and they list some keystrokes that seem like they could be
useful for advanced tasks, but I can't even add a data field. Right
clicking on the part that says add a data field simply brings up a menu
with copy, cut, paste etc. And of course, my book is all about click this
and scroll down to that.

Good afternoon Christy,
Can you let us know your version of JAWS?
Thanks,

If anyone has familiarity with using Access 2007 with Jaws, and would be
willing to give me some assistance privately, it would mean more than I
could say. I've got a project for my database management class due, but
I can't seem to get even simple tasks like adding a field to a table to
work. I'm hardly computer illiterate, but this is beyond frustrating
and it's only the beginning of the class. Seems FS has no new tutorials,
and nothing at all on Access.
