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?

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.
