Saving data to a Mac

[superchrisdub]

Hi,

I have a database that creates a temporary database in Access 2016, in the current direcory (where the front end db is located), to hold temporary tables. One of the directors of the company sometimes works from home using a Mac with Office 2016 on it. I have heard that Mac puts the db in a sandbox so you cannot just save files anywhere. Can I still save to the current folder on a Mac? And if not, where can I save the temporary database?

thanks,
Chris

which version of office? The version that runs in iOS does not have Access. Only way would be for your director to have a virtual box with windows installed and a windows version of Office or use remote desktop to connect to his office based windows machine.
