I face the same dilemma. I use Access at work, but I have a Mac at home. Have you ever tried using FileMaker Pro on the Mac?

Becky, I've tried FileMaker Pro on a Mac, and it is great - no doubt. But Access is so SMART. I just love how simple it is to create form fields that dynamically pull data from the database. Plus the fact that it coincides so easily with Microsoft Excel, and Word.

I've been learning so much about it.

By the way, do you have a non-Netflix blog? I love "NetFlix Fan," but maybe you have a personal one?

I found this site by googling "microsoft access" and "mac" tp see if Crossover came up and found this post interesting. Do get an intel mac to solve this problem?

Nah, Access won't see life on a Mac anytime soon. FileMaker Pro is supposedly pretty good.

Get Virtual PC. That will solve all problems. Or wait for the New Mac system to come out. You will be able to run windows and Mac OS system.

I am dedicated MAC OS users, but I cannot avoid access. I donot agree with you guys who said file maker pro can replace access. This is something like you are offsetting your tastes of milk by drinking plain water instead of milk.

I have been using MS Access for last 7 years for Small and Medium Data base... after I left Fox Pro.

File maker pro cannot do some interactive query design in a simpler way like Access

I think APPLE should look into the matter to release MS Access into the OFFICE 2004 for MAC.
