Matt, First, JAWS underwent a major change in their object-modeling scheme with version 17, so differences between 16 and later version are usually fairly significant. I surmise that JAWS 17 and later are larger memory occupants, and possibly even impose on formerly sacrosanct memory areas for other programs and overflow -- again just a guess.
MS-Access to me has always been a problem. Very old versions of JAWS had scripts to work with very early versions of MS-Access, but I believe support for MS-Access fell by the wayside long ago. This might mean that there are no reliable scripts to help JAWS function in MS-Access. I wonder if you were to export your data tables into MS-Excel format, would you have more success? I find Excel to still be a very reliable program when working with vast amounts of data. In fact, when I used both MS-Access and MS-Project in my job, I would routinely export/import to/from Excel in order to manipulate the data to work in Access and Project. Excel was the champion for me. So although no remedy to your problem, I'm proposing a couple suspicions as to your problems.

Here's my issue in short - I have an Access database with a table with about 12,000 records. Starting at version 17, when I open the table in Datasheet view, JAWS and Access crash if I attempt to either go to the ribbons or use the Application key. I have seen this in Office 2010, 2013 and 2016, on Windows 7, 8.1, and 10, on various hardware, desktops and laptops. In JAWS 16 and earlier, no issue. VFO support tried using my database on the latest JAWS build and Office 2016 (back in January), and claimed they could not replicate the problem. (?) In general, I like to keep running the current version of things, if for no other reason than the security updates, and it's kind of a pain if I want to go in and sort or filter my table to find certain things. Anyone out here have some thoughts? Appreciate all your help!
