Hello:
I have been called in to consult on a case where they need an accessible
simple data base. I would like to know if anyone knows of any way to use
file maker accessibly or some other product that is both cross plat
form and accessible. The problem we are having with file maker is that the
data in the fields cannot be reviewed and the user needs to read phone
numbers and e-mail addresses from the records as well as type up longer
notes about the interactions. The user can here the data once when they
first tab to the field but if they try and move around in the field jaws
reads blank. I would recommend access but the rest of the work group uses
macs thanks Lucy
