Hi John,
About 3 months ago, I made the same request to this list, and did not get any reply.
In my experience, File Maker Pro is an hopeless case! I lost a job because of its inaccessibility!
Your only chance is, if you can access the databases through an HTML interface. In order to do this, I think the
databases must be written in a certain way. If you search in the File Maker Pro Documentation, it is mentioned there how
to access your FileMaker pro files using an HTML Interface.
I also tried to use an application called Hot Spot Clicker which, provided you have some sighted help, and you don't
have to use too many different screens in File Maker Pro could help you. But it will take time to costomize each screen.
I may be able to tell you a bit more. You can try to skype me at severine_renard but I won't be much available the
coming week.
If you can at all avoid FileMaker Pro, that would be best for you. But I hope you'll have more luck than I did!
All the best,
Séverine

Objet : [VICUG-L] Accessibility of Filemaker Pro
Hello Fellow Listers:
This past week, my girlfriend and I have undertaken a massive organization
project in my condo. (Me being a bachelor, I think each of you can guess
just how desperately this was needed, though I swear that I was almost
always able to find what I needed when I needed it.) Anyway, the
aforementioned girlfriend, Emily, has cataloged the new location of every
item using filemaker pro. I told her that I didn't believe this program was
very accessible, but that I would install JAWS on her laptop and we'd give
it a try. We did try; it was a most underwhelming experience, and I'm a
pretty savvy computer / JAWS user.
Am I missing something? Has anybody here used filemaker pro successfully?
Are there special scripts for this program?
Thank you in advance to anyone taking the time to respond to my inquiry.
John
