Screen reader applications read attachment data type fields as "G" in Access 2007
You use a screen reader application together with Microsoft Office Access 2007. When you rest the pointer over an attachment data type column in Datasheet view, the screen reader application reads
G for the field heading.
This problem occurs because the attachment field heading is a paper clip icon.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Install a screen reader application on the computer.
- In Access 2007, click the Create tab, and then click Table.
- Right-click the Table1 tab, and then click Design View.
- In the Save As dialog box, click OK to save the table as Table1.
- Add a new field that has a Field Name of MyAttachments and a Data Type of Attachment.
- Press CTRL+S to save the table, right-click the Table1 tab, and then click Datasheet View.
When you rest the pointer over the attachment column, the screen reader reads
G for the field heading.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Access 2007

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
