[gui-talk] Can I access access 2010 with JAWS?

Well, to my surprise, I can use word very well, and JAWS speaks all of the
program features well. JAWS also supports excel, including all the formulas
and functions. Powerpoint is a very visual application, but that does not
stop JAWS from providing access to it. All the PowerPoint placeholders, JAWS
can speak the well that I don't have to see to create a shining
presentation. But how about access? So as you can see, JAWS does support
many, many parts of office 2010. But what about access? I can't get it to
work.

FreedomScientific has no support available for any part of office2010.  
It could be you get lucky searching for jaws scripts and sites that 
offer them beyond FreedomScientific but when you use those scripts 
support will have to come directly from their authors if support is even 
possible.
