There won't be any cross-platform issues, since you'll be running Access
under Windows on the Mac. You'll need to make sure that you save the db
using the same format on both machines.
I would also investigate whether you can use an external drive (even a
thumb drive, depending on the size of your database) as your primary
storage - that way you won't have to load or reload it. I've not
verified it, but I believe that you can share an external drive in VPC7.
(If you do this, though, be sure to back it up regularly.)
