Hi all: The truth be known that no matter how nice the Mac machine, they can not do networking...kind of sad but true. They can still do internet though.

A word of caution when sharing DBs between PCs & Macs. One year we had an MS Access 2010 .accdb shared between about 40 users with as many as 15-20 accessing it at one time without any problems. The next year or the one after, we did it again and had all kinds of file corruption problems. Turns out that whenever a Mac user running Access in Parallels would manage to lock their computer without exiting the DB it would corrupt data tables. Had a lot of lost work before we figured it out.
