Does anyone know if they make an Access program for MAC? I need to develop a
database for someone who will be using it on a MAC but he just has
Word/Excel/Entourage/PowerPoint. Do they make it? Would my database made on
my PC work on his MAC? If not, is there another program that would be better
that crosses both platforms?

Thanks,
Jenny

Access is not (and probably never will be) available for Mac. You will
need to either run a PC emulator, or switch to another program such as
4th Dimension or FileMaker Pro. Either conversion will be a chore -
they are quite different in structure; you can import the data but the
application will need to be rebuilt from scratch.

Access is not available on the Mac. The leading cross-platform database
software seems to be Filemaker Pro.
