[AccessD] Access on Macs

I met yesterday with a prospect for our Access-based software product.
A fifth of their computers are Macs, the remainder PCs.  Based on what I
have assumed for YEARS, I noted that it won't fly with the Mac users,
unless you buy some third party emulator, and even then I've heard about
flaky behavior.

Yet they assured me that Macs can run all MS Office applications.  No
emulator.  Am I in the dark here?  Do Macs have a native MS Office
version?  If so, does it include Access?  And if so, can they work
seamlessly with an Access file generated from a PC, or is there some
format conversion that is required to create a Mac-enabled file?
