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.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
The following procedure assumes that you have already installed Office speech recognition and have configured it with the Speech utility on Control Panel.
 * 1) Start Access.
 * 2) Open the sample project NorthwindCS.adp.
 * 3) On the Tools menu, verify that the Speech command is selected.
 * 4) On the Insert menu, click Table.

Note that the Dictation option on the Language bar is unavailable.
 * 1) Close the table without saving changes.
 * 2) On the Insert menu, click Query.
 * 3) Select Design View, and then click OK.
 * 4) Select the Customers table, click Add, and then click Close. Note that the Dictation option on the Language bar is unavailable.
