So I e-mailed the guy, and he responded with a download link -- to a Windows file (the ol' ".exe"). I told him I'm on a Mac, and he hasn't gotten back to me.

Hm.

May I suggest that you [color:"red"] don't hold your breath. I wrote about the same thing on the Date it was posted [color:"blue"]2/6/2003 and still haven't heard from him.

IMHO -- there isn't Mac version...

[Lee Smith]

That was my guess too, since they didn't respond.

That's okay Mac users are used to software not being available in their format

[danjacoby]

Actually, Mac users are used to not needing what's not available, because it almost always turns out that there is an alternative -- and often a better one.

Which is why I know people who are switching from Access to Filemaker, but nobody who is going the other way.

[kenneth2k1]

Ok, true. Especially now with Apple MacOS10 Developer tool, more and more people are designing applications for Mac.

With regard as to why people switch from Access to FM, I didn't think Access was available for Mac, so how would it be a better alternative for Mac users? FM is most certainly a better alternative to Access on Windows!
