Is there a version of MS Access for MAc users? If so, can an Access program written for PC work in the Mac environment? Thanks, Jenny

Can I use a variable to shorten this: Forms![frmMain]![frmSub].Form![frmSubSub].Form![Field] to something like: variable.Form![Field] What kind of variable would this be and how do I dim it? Jenny
