Hi folks,

Thanks for all your help. Another question: what are the alternatives to MS Access for the Mac-world besides Filemaker. Any freeware? I dislike Filemaker and yet, cannot find anything else to open Access besides doing a Virtual PC session and installing Office 2000. Any alternatives? I have different needs, some databases I need view-only and some I need the ability to modify the tables.

Any suggestions?

Perhaps try:

Maybe look at MySQL.

If you're feeling adventurous you could try OpenOffice.org 2.0 for X11. It now has an Access compatible database. I haven't tried it but I have used the WP and the Spreadsheet. Seems pretty stable and impressive.

Not the final version yet. Freeware though so worth a look.

Uuugh, spent the last 2 hours trying to figure out Openoffice 2.01 and getting it to look at my MS Access database... I give up!!! Any other options?

Anyone?
