MS Office for Mac that includes Virtual PC with Windows XP and Office for Windows all bundled as a complete set, so this might make things easier for you.
Is FileMaker as powerful as Access havent seen it my present access databases use quite abit of code does it convert the code? Does cross-platform mean one database design will work on Apple and MS? Thanks for the help.texanpenguin said:It will work; but be aware that it's not going to be a painless process. If you think you'll spend more time in Access than out of it, buy a $300 PC and save yourself unnecessary effort.
Virtual PC is best at simply being a way to run the occasional important program.
Just to be perfectly clear, Access isn't all that fantastic. In some cases (depending on the complexity and the front-end stuff), you can convert your Access databases to FileMaker Pro (via SQL I suppose), and then you'll be cross-platform forever after.
