Get an ACCESS app to run on a MAC

[jpl458]

I know that ACCESS is not included in Office 365 for MAC computers, I also know that you can hook a MAC up to a PC and share data. But is the any way to get an ACESS app to run on a MAC, like an emulator, or software conversion program. If anyone has solved this problem I will be forever in your debt till 3 PM Monday.

I think in the early days, there was an emulator. Today, you would use Citrix or Remote desktop or some other solution that runs the Access app in a web browser. I have had great success with both Citrix and RD but Parallels sounds like an emulator so that should work.

Looking at Parallels. I sorta figured there might be something out there, given the history of things desktop.

Let us know how it goes... Good luck!

When I was still teaching, we had several rooms with Mac workstations on a dual boot system with Windows.
The Windows VM ran all Office programs including Access.
This was over a decade ago & it worked fine
