Form view should certainly work. Design or table view, however, will
read cell contents, but not cell headers. That's what we need to work on.

Oh haha that
makes sense.  So does Access 2010 work at all right now?  I
ask because I’m doing a project at my college with my
mentors there and it’s kind of required for the scenario I’m
trying to use.

That's a good question, and for the most
part, Microsoft did make Access 2010 more accessible than 2003
(which is why the app currently puts more emphasis on the
earlier version). But the biggest reason that we put more
effort into getting Access 2003 working is because that is the
version that was used by the people who first came to us and
said, "Please make this database I'm using work better." Now
that 2007 and 2010 users are becoming more prolific, we'll
start putting more resources into working with those version.

Okay then, so
what support of Access 2010 is currently offered?  And
shouldn’t support of the different versions go the other way
around?  In that the latest version out there should come
first?  Just curious.  Thanks for updating us though.  <o:p></o:p>

Beefing up Access support in the Access app
is on our list. Right now, Access 2003 is working best,
followed by Access 2007, followed by Access 2010. We'll be
focusing on 2007 and 2010 in the next app update.

Hello all,<o:p></o:p>
Not that I am a whiz at MS Access 2010 (I’m
just learning it), but in my learning, or attempts thereof, I
have discovered some real issues with Access and WE.  For one
thing, when in design view, WE does not speak very well which
field you are on, and I can just get it to sometimes speak the
data types when setting up the database, but once you get out
of there, you can’t tell which field you are on anyway, so
trying to design them seemed to have served no purpose in the
first place.  And then once you get out of design view and you
try to type into one of the fields (and after praying to the
Lord that you are on the right one), you’re lucky if you get a
correct placement.  Is this something really simple on my end
that I’m missing?  Or more directly, how would you suggest
that a Window-Eyes user use Access 2010?  And I have the
latest version of the MS Access app installed as well, so
that’s why this question is going on this list to begin with,
but if it should be moved, you can move it.  Thanks folks.  <o:p></o:p>
