Hi

This is totally new to me.

Can you develop an Access database in Windows, say using Access 2002 or
2003, and then execute that database in the Apple verion of Access?

AFAIK there is no such thing as an Apple version of Access.

Looks like they will have to come down in the world and buy a new Windows

Eh? No such product ever existed. The only reason there were ever
any references in the Access help files to Macs was because you
might have been storing your MDB on a Mac file system.

In addition to boot camp on IntelMacs, there's also other Windows
emulators, as well as the option of letting Mac users run an Access
application on a Windows Terminal Server (there are Remote Desktop
clients for nearly every non-Windows OS, including Apple and Linux).

Tom must have been thinking of Visual FoxPro for Macintosh (VFP/Mac).
Microsoft officially ended support for VFP/Mac in 2003, but it hadn't
been updated for several years before that.

Nowhere does that article state that there was ever a Mac version of
Access. For instance, the Mac versions table from the article:

Versions for Apple Macintosh OS

* Office 3 (Word 5, Excel 4, PowerPoint 3, etc.): Released 1993.
* Office 4.2 (The last 68K version; Word 6.0, Excel 5, PowerPoint
4, etc.): Released 1994.
* Office 4.2.1 (The first Power Mac-aware version; Word 6.0.1,
Excel 5, etc.): Released June 2, 1994.
* Office 98 (Word/Excel/PowerPoint 98 (v8.0), etc.): Released
March 15, 1998.
* Office 2001 (Word 2001, etc.): Released October 11, 2000.
* Office v. X (The first Mac OS X/Aqua edition; Word X, etc.):

Does anyone have a suggestion for how to create a Mac OSX .DMG file from a C# app running on Windows? Searching online is not turning up a lot of options. Or is there some better alternative format? We're looking for something like a self extracting zip for mac? Problem with a plain zip by itself is user would have to extract all the files somewhere to run and have relative file references resolve properly. Thanks,
