Can you replicate the issue with a simple form that isn't DB-driven and share that?

Thanks,

For the Internal Form: It is a Dynamic Form, XML, database driven.
It is downloadable to the desktop with a sync option with user login.
I ran JAWs first then opened the form. I could not share it at this
point because it is internal only.

This public form will be dynamic, will not have a sync option but will
be xml, and the ability to integrate to the database on upload or
email attachment. Still in the planning stage.

I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble accessing this type of form.
