Hey Rod,

Hand-coding SQL is an excellent suggestion and one I didn't
consider. I come from a PostGreSQL/MySQL background so that
shouldn't be difficult. But how is input obtained from the
user? For example, part of my assignment says query when
given the broker's first and last name returns all clients
managed by that broker. So a simple join occurs but does
the query editor have a placeholder that says hey when you
encounter this, go out and query the user?

Also, how do you find designing forms as that's a big part
of what I need to do?

Best,
Shane

Hi Shane,
Yes, Jaws does not work well with access. I think it's got worse instead of better.

Play with the tab & f6 keys to navigate around.

I've been doing queries, by coding the SQL in notepad, then in access, switch to the sql view, and paste the SQL from notepad into it. If there are no errors, it will save, and you can run it. If there are errors, you'll have to fix the query. It's not easy, or fun, but can be accomplished. My hopes are that Jaws will eventually catch up and work better with Access.
By the way, I use Vista Home, Office 2007, and Jaws Version 12.

Good luck.
Rod

Subject: Access 2007 queries

Hello all,

I am taking a course which requires the use of Access 2007
but am really confused about the JFW support here. I expect
this is a common enough application though so wondering
what others do.

My current issue is the design of queries. I have tried
using the query wizard and the query designer but Jaws
isn't reading when a table is selected and the resultant
fields, query types and values etc.

So just wondering how people are using access...

Best,
Shane
