I have been approached by a few people lately looking for database programs. I will usually recommend Access but then it turns out they have an Apple.
Is there a DBMS for Apple?

Filemaker. They just issued a new release maybe only few weeks ago. Have heard great things about FileMaker.

Yep FileMaker is good but it's not free Open Office however is and the database app (Base) is very similar to Access.

Agree, Filemaker would be the one for Maccy.

Here's an excellent overview of the main differences between Filemaker and Access :

Don't laugh I am using file maker ver 5 now.... It is a lot easier to use IMHO then access. I can only imagine how the new versions are.

If you have worked in access for a while it will take you a little time to get used to the way things are laid out and where they are.......

But I like it so far, especially for the little things I have had to use it for.
