Hi Ray, I too want to add my voice to those requesting that GW add MS Access support to WE, and soon! Ray, just thinking over your idea about a scripting service; does anyone know of a script for window eyes which costs money? I'm just wondering if the window eyes market will support such a concept, given how relatively easy scripting is, and given that often it's not the state blind services agency that purchases window eyes for us (and often I think that's who is supporting the jaws commercial scripting industry, because they purchase both jaws, and the scripts needed, to get someone productively employed).
I don't know about other areas of the country, but in Florida my impression is that our state agency, who pays non-profit agencies in this state to teach computer skills, still only purchases, and only pays for training in, the shark! I haven't investigated scripting access in a serious way, but I'd guess it's going to need more than scripting support from the quick look I took.

I hope this could be done via scripting. If it can be I wonder why it hasn't been. It could be that scripting is going to have to be paid for in some instances if we're to see progress on this front regarding MS Access. I'm beginning to wonder if paid for or subscription to a scripting service might be what's required to kick start propper access to audio programs as well. Ray. John W.

This is a real short coming for many blind users working in a variety of careers. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
