   Just what is considered "access" How easy must the "access" be?

   Geez you gonna make me get out my code book?  Nah... You have to be able to get to it without moving anything such as drywall, siding etc. 

    

   I look down my nose at people who dare to look down their nose at people.

   How about an access cover in siding? or must the box be mounted on top of the siding? (Yukkk) This is in a sun room add-on, on the exterior wall of the house(now an interior wall of sunroom)

   Sure an access cover works.  Give me more specifics and perhaps I can give you more ideas

   If a small access cover will work, I would use a 5"-6" square cover of the interior wall covering material (sort of a 1/8" melamine covered hardboard) to cover an access hole back into the stud space where the junction box would be. Sound OK?

   That should be fine. Depending on the overall design my could make it a much bigger pannel with molding and it would look like part of the wall.

   If I remember correctly the basic requirement is that you can access it with common hand tools (screw driver) and without damaging anything.
