I use VMWARE work station. Let's you use any OS for your VM. Once you create a VM you can copy to another machine and use it in Player. Tried that with a Windows server 2008 VM w SQL Server 2008. It worked! -------- Original message -------- From: Rocky Smolin <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> Date:01/23/2014 9:20 PM (GMT-08:00) To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Subject: Re: [AccessD] VirtualBox Yeah looks like VMware player is it. Just set up an xp vm. Seamless. And while I was writing - a W7 vm finished - network access is there. Should be a spit and a list now to make O2007, O2010, and O2013 VMs. R -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 8:07 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] VirtualBox Just went to the VM Ware site and got overwhelmed with the number of products - most of which have descriptions that make little sense to me. Is it Vmware Player that I want?

I don't remember having any problems with networking/Internet. I switched over to Parallels when I moved to Macs, but that wasn't out of any dissatisfaction with VMWare. If I remember correctly, Parallels at the time had more features than VMWare Fusion for OSX.
