Access on MACs or IPADS

[Nance]

Clients want to use my access database on a MAC or IPAD. Some have been told that it's now possible. Does anyone know whether there's an Apple-compatible version of Access? Nance

There isn't, at this time, either a MAC or IPAD version of Access. You can
emulate Windows with WINE or other emulators on the MAC, and run Access
under the emulator. I'm not all that familiar with the iPAD, but you may be
able to use it as a "remote terminal" if you have a server runnning Access.
People have been asking for Access in the MAC world for the last twenty
years, but Microsoft didn't implement it, even though there are Mac versions
of most of the other Microsoft Office software.

In the most recent versions of Access, you can create web apps with Access
that are accessible (no pun intended) from any web browser. Should you
decide to investigate, look into that capability in Access 2013, not earlier
versions.
