I have been asking FileMaker for this for years... I used FileMaker 2, 3, and 4 for eons as they were accessible, but all versions thereafter have not been. Calls, emails and feature requests have all been ignored. I even took the tactic of purchasing FileMaker, then telling them it was not accessible to me... And they told me to return it. I have religiously been buying Bento and reporting its inaccessibility but to no use. I even asked Apple to put pressure on their "subsidiary" but they declined to help saying "We have no control over them."
I urge everyone who is interested in making FileMaker products accessible to act, but I am not holding my breath. Lou.
