The fact that FileMaker is the top DBMS on the Mac and the No. 2 DBMS is testimony to its power. Access is a proprietary POS which lends to very little interoperability between itself and other DBMSes. You might want to read this case study of a firm that converted from Access to SQL. Cross-platform means that one database design will work on Macintosh and Windows.

Filemaker is very powerful, and way easier to use than access. I have databases that I currently share between mac and pc and they function exactly the same, and look identical.
