[nfbcs] Fwd: Collecting Information for Microsoft's new CAO

[ed meskys]

I am also carboning Jan McSorley directly.

Over ten years ago a sighted friend helped me create several databases in 
ACCESS, which I have used successfully with JFW. While I could not create 
them, I was successful in looking up information, adding or deleting 
records, or updating fields. I did this in W98SE and WXP. My new computer 
has W7 and I cannot find the database. In WXP I would "enter" on "access,", 
type "ctr o", and backtab once. Then I would downarrow until I found the 
database I needed, and open it.

I had sighted help transferring my files to the new computer, but simply 
cannot find them to open them.

I have a slow learning curve in learning new software, so am reluctant to go 
to W10. How well have other blind users coped? I am using the Office 03 
version of Access, and had seen no need to find someone to reprogram my 
databases in a newer version. My friend who did the original programming 
died several years ago, and I do not have a new person.

If you think a reply on this listserv would bore others, please reply
