using access database on a mac

[barnimup]

Hi.

Over the years I've developed an access database which uses 30+
tables, queries, forms, reports, macros etc.
Using replication the rest of my department have been able to use the
dbase on their laptops. It's a school department and the database
keeps pupil records, extra-curricular details, resource information
etc.

Now however it looks like we are going to switch to Mac's.

I would be grateful if someone could give me possible solutions. All
the machines would have internet access.

many thanks

Access has not been (and probably will not be) released on the Mac operating
system. It must run on Windows.

You can run Windows on newer Mac hardware, or you can use a terminal-server
application to link a user on a Mac to a Windows machine running Access.

This document gives you a few options but they didn't look like a complete
solution. Maybe virtual windows in the Mac OS but I"m just brainstorming
from articles I read over the years.
