MS Access for MAC

[22strider]

Hello Friends,

Is MS Access compatible with MAC?

I recently bought new MacBook. I am finding that MS Access may not be compatible with MAC. If this is true then which other Relational DB can be loaded on to MACBOOK?

Or is there a way to install MS Access to MAC?

Regards,
Rajesh

Not really, for options have a look here: https://machow2.com/microsoft-access-mac-open-databases/

Office for mac is severly lacking for anything non-trivial and doesn't support a good number of windows features. If you are a heavy user, consider something like:

1. Bootcamp and install windows on another partition
2. Parallels/VMWareFusion and install windows on a VM so you don't need to reboot to use it

(I do the latter)

I believe that FileMakerPro is OS compatible.
