MS Access for Mac users?

[Jenny Peters]

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

MS , for some reason, has never written a version of Access for the Mac. They bought the company that wrote Foxbase and bundled that product with the Mac version of Office. FileMaker is available for both Mac and PC. The only other option is running something like Virtual PC and then installing Access within the emulated Windows environment.

Thanks for the info John.

Maybe they will make the jump to Access in the future.

Don't hold your breath. M.S. bought FoxPro at least 10 years ago. If they were going to do Mac Access, they probably would have by now.
