Has anyone tried a MS program called Access? Someone at work has suggested I try it; it doesn't run on Macs, I don't think, but maybe it could be made to with some program. Would it be worth it, does anyone know?
thanks,
Malcolm

It will run reasonably well in Virtual PC. But there is no mac version.

there's another thread about three down from this one that is discussing what the best Mac substitute for Access is. Look at that.

(in brief, Access via VPC, Filemaker, possibly 4D)

If you want something for the Mac I would suggest FileMaker. It's far superior to Access.
