generally in something like that, the first is the list of available objects to select, the second is the selected tables.


generally single arrow keys are for moving one object, doubles are for moving all objects.

wizards in access have never been done well, I think its a major trouble getting jaws to work with the wizard interface.

My speculation now is that there's a real mouse trap in the upsizing
wizard that appears on the tables selection screen and prevents
selecting any more than a single table to send over to sql.  When the
msaccess script was written it was also probably only tested with a
single table database.  That or the script writers couldn't figure a
work around for the mouse trap.  All kinds of unlabeled buttons with
single and double left and right arrows and what appear to be two
parallel lists.  First list shows tables and second list is empty.  What
I have now has 10 tables all connected by autonumber fields.  I can
probably get those auto number fields converted to numeric but doubt
that will solve the rest of this problem.  Jaws mouse keys don't appear
to work on that screen either.  Best solution will likely end up being
to have someone not using accessibility software convert the database
then I'll do the remaining work in the project.
