Not unless it runs rings around Narrator as we know it. It'll talk, but it doesn't offer much control.

Subject: Re: Microsoft Access Thanks everyone for your support with this issue. That is a shame JAWS hasn't kept up with Microsoft Access since it sounds like a lot of employers use it. I don't know what kind of computer system my employer will have, but I will ask them about using SQL. I have downloaded a tutorial on Microsoft Access 2013, and plan to play with this software and make mock data sheets to get a feel for how accessible it is. Has anyone used Microsoft's Narrator app that I believe was added to Windows 8? The company's own accessibility features ought to work on all their programs, and if I will be primarily using Microsoft Access, maybe I wouldn't even need to install JAWS at work if they are using Windows 8.
