Though why anyone would want to have anything to do with M$Access escapes me. G$^#%@n P-o-$#!+ software...

Well, yes. :}

If you're willing to spend the cash you can get M$Office for the Mac.

Yes, but it doesn't contain MSAccess. This is one of those little non-obvious gotchas, which is why I mention it. You can by the very same package in "Mac version", and one of the things you expect to have in there is missing.

(Those of us who want desktop dbs use Filemaker Pro which eats MSAccess' lunch so hard there are no words.)
