It worked fine for me too, but that was a while back with older
versions of Windows, Access and Virtual PC. :o)


Of course it depends why the original person wants Access - they may
not need Access and Virtual PC at all if another Mac dtabase
application suits their needs.

Mac Office doesn't ship with Access (or any database application)
simply because although there are other database application it is that
FileMaker Pro has made itself the Mac standard.

Like Microsoft Works, AppleWorks (which ships free with iMacs and
iBooks) also contains a database section, which is really a cut-down
version of FileMaker Pro.
