Adding to Pratik's comment, it would definitely be better to use Window-Eyes
with its new programming interface but one must own a copy of WE 7.0 which
is just out and a lot of people may not have it in their budget to move up
to the newest rev.

Ken,

 

As I understand it, the interface for 2003 and 2007 is different.  So if
something like Visual studio is attempted, I would guess that there might be
a need to create two separate set of scripts.  I would also think that
Window-Eyes with its Com Automation scripting capability would be a better
candidate for such a project.  I do quite understand that many of us use
JAWS far more than Window-Eyes.  That might be a factor.

Nod I found a pay tutorial for Access 2002 but I can't trust that it would
be the same so I wouldn't think of buying it.  I might have to go to coding
it but I might just have my wife drop a few things on the screen for me she
could do in 2 minutes what would take me a few hours of adjustments.  This
is just silly.  I am going to have a look at the form designer maybe we can
do something like we did in Visual studio .

Ken,

 

The most efficient way of designing forms in Access is to use the underlying
programming.  I find that the scripts included with JAWS or Window-Eyes sets
don't do the form designer justice.  I invariably end up doing something
wrong in the form designer view because a lot of visual information is just
not available.  In other words, the interface for blind
programmers/designers is just terrible.  As to tutorials, I haven't found
anything recent.  There was something that I found for Office 95 and its
version of Access.

I am looking for any tutorial on how to use Form design view with jaws.  If
its possible at all in Access.
