Access Runtime For Mac

A friend has an Intel based Mac and would like to run an Access DB application that her Mother wrote for her. Apparently it comes with the runtime so a full MS Office isn't necessary. Download and Install MS Access Runtime, whch is available as a free download from MicroSoft. This is the Database Engine used to run my applications.

So, are your Mac's recent enough to have an intel processor? If not, you may have performance problems, but you can use Virtual PC on them. IF you have recent Macs with Intel processors, you will need to start up in PC mode using Bootstrap or use Parallels software on the Macs and start up that application.

On the older machines using Virtual PC you would not be able to run Vista. On the older machines and using Virtual PC, you might not be able to run Access 2007 but I have no way to test that at the moment.
