To the best of my knowledge, your developer is correct. My understanding is
that this is because of the way that Access renders controls. Access form
controls are windows only when they have the focus - when they don't have
the focus, they're just bitmaps. This uses fewer resources, but apparently
prevents the automated testing tools used with other development tools from
working with Access.

Does anyone know of an automated testing tool, i.e.; Rational Robot,
Winrunner, that could be used to test Access 2000. I was led to believe, by
a developer, that there are no automated testing tools that will work with
Access.
