Steve, Macs can have a Windows emulator so it can do all that a PC can do. There is also an Office version that is developed for Macs without using the emulator, but does not include Access. Depending on what they've actually got, they might be able to use your 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?
