Hi Eileen,
Do you know if it works good enough with JAWS to work with at all?  If not is 
there a different  good way to do the same type of projects?

I don't know if Application Express is what you are talking about, but my 
co-workers are going to training for it. My supervisor sent a message
to Oracle asking if it is accessible and that I use JFW.  We got the following 
answer:

What I found is some features in Oracle Application Express 3.0: Developing
Web Applications Ed 2 PRV requires the functionality provided by the XMLHTTP
(AJAX) and/or DHTML scripting languages, which means that screen readers may
not properly interpret screen updates.  Because of extensive use of these
two scripting languages, the SQL Workshop module is not coded to meet
applicable Section 508 standards.  This being the case Jaws for Windows is
not compatible with Oracle Application Express 3.0: Developing Web
Applications Ed 2 PRV.

Today I was told by my manager that they want me to work on an Oracle database 
using Apex, formerly known as HTMLDB.  Does anyone know if Apex (HTMLDB) is 
accessible with JAWS?  If so do you need the java accessbridge installed to use 
it?
