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

[Jude DaShiell]

You can't use msaccess2010 because interface controls have changed.  How 
many and which controls, I don't know.  Since I don't have or use jaws 14 
and don't have msaccess2010 on a work computer I can't help you any 
further with this problem.  The whole msaccess software series is being 
depricated as fast as possible by my employer and replaced by 
sharepoint2010.  Development environment in there is no better.  If you 
know or can learn how to write data bases in excel, it may be possible for 
you to export those to msaccess2010 and satisfy your assignment.  Other 
than that, you're going to need a mouse driver to get the work done in 
msaccess2010.  Mouse drivers usually come equipped with excellent vision 
and an ability to click a mouse in the right places really well. On Sun, 2
