Microsoft Access 2002

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

This article applies only to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Office speech recognition in Microsoft Access, the Dictation option may not be available in an Access project (ADP) file.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the visual design tools for designing tables, queries, and database diagrams do not support the Dictation option in Office speech recognition. The text design tools for creating text stored procedures and functions do support the Dictation option.

RESOLUTION

Use the keyboard and mouse to enter the information required in the object's Design view.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
