What you remember is a bit out of date. I can use the Jaws mouse fine to
find the items. I can select tools like buttons and check boxes and list
boxes. Everything I need. The one thing that is missing was missing in c++
6.0. How to get the items from the tool box to the form where we want them.
I can select all the items on the form that I designed with the wizard but I
can't find a place to put the mouse to actually drop and item all though I
can see everything. Heck with system access's virtual mouse mode I can see
more than I can see easily with jaws but there still is no place to drop new
controls around controls I already have. If I start with a blank screen I
could drop controls but then I have to deal with an hour of changing
properties or more. I don't want to go that route if I have to do something
like that I will use Visual studio and a DataSet first because the form
designer is at least accessible in that. I wanted to use Access because
what I am making is simple except for a couple combo box controls and a list
box and a few buttons. I will probably end up having my wife drop the
controls and then add the links that will be faster. I hate doing that
because this stuff should be accessible. So first thing is first I am going
to play with some scripts and see what I can get to work.

from what I remember of 2000, and yes I know that's a qualifier, there
was... a grey square in the window that brought up a needed menu when it was
clicked on. not having any talent in jaws scripting, I had another student
talk me through it and I found out about this square, jaws didn't show it in
any way I could recognize, so I wound up getting the jaws/mouse cursor on
something I could find and identify in the screen, a numbered graphic, and
then I used the arrow keys to move over to the square with the assistance of
the student. counted how many left arrows and down arrows I used, and then
from then on I could access it, a pain, but could do it. the items once on
the form were findable, and app's keying them gave me the ability to move
them.
that's about all I can remember of that, whew that was in, like 2001, oof a
few years back, lol!
HTH,

When you say most of it can be done what I want to do is insert some buttons
and sub forms with buttons. That I think is not something so far that is
possible in Jaws yet. I was able to put a sub form in but putting an add
orders part of the form with a list box and some edit boxes is not something
that seems do-able.

I've used later versions of access with jaws and had only a few real
troubles, and yes, they were in the forms designer, unfortunately the
information I had and the book also, was on another computer that I don't
have access (excuse the punishment!) to anymore, and I doubt that the
material is still on it, *sigh*
sorry, but I will say that most of it can be done, ken, if you get something
going on this, please let me know what you wind up with, so I can (with
permission) put them up on the grab bag, ok?
take care,
inthane

The only hard core MS Access user I know who uses it with JAWS is Joe
Lazarro (Jamal can send you his contact information as I seem to have
misplaced it) who works for the Department of IT in the Massachusetts state
government. Last time I talked to Joe, he said he still uses it with JAWS
3.51 as each JAWS release since works much less well with Access. Joe is a
really smart and funny guy and a fun person to know.

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