Morning Rick,
Have been enjoying the courses. A question comes up frequently but don't know where it fits into the course program, so I'll just try here.  We have a small network at home.  I use all windows machines but the only other person on the network uses only Apple devices. We'd like to share the database app I'm slowly working on but her Mac won't run MS Access.  How do I get around this problem?  Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,
Unfortunately MS hasn't produced a Mac version of Access, it's just not got the demand.
I'm a Mac user myself and run a virtualisation program like Parallels or VMFusion and run Windows on that.
One option is SharePoint although Access Web Apps aren't great.
Another option is a custom ASP site that connects to the Access database.
Depending on the complexity are you needing Forms/Reports etc or is it just Table access.
There are 3rd Party apps for opening Access dbs but I've not found a great one yet.
