Is there an application like MS Access for Mac OSX my problem is i have switched to mac but i have some .mdb databases with forms and want to use them on mac but don't know if there are any database applications for Mac OSX?

Best Regards

The most similar app would be FileMaker Pro as it combines database and user interface features.

Though it won't read the *.mdb files. You would need to export the data as text first, create a new FileMaker Pro database with the same fields, then import that data.

Obviously you would need to do the export on a pc (or virtual pc) where Access could run.

Or as the previous post said, just get a copy of Virtual PC and run all your pc apps including Access.
 
Unfortunately there is nothing that is Access compatable on the Macintosh. There are many alternatives. None that are as easy to integrate a DB with a front end application (to my knowledge) but most are much more powerful than access.
