Anything better than NeoOffice to run my Access DB?

[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1562832, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Linda[/B] - welcome to the forum! :) I can address the first part of your post above - I converted to Apple in the spring of '13 after decades on PCs - I had a half dozen Access DBs, 4 were small so I exported as Excel files and then used Numbers; however, 2 for my CD collections amounted to a total of 60 or so printed pages in an Access format that I've used for ages. From my searching, there really is no OS X database program that will directly import Access files w/ all of the features of that application - Numbers or the Open Office options, such as NeoOffice or LibreOffice will simply allow you to import as Excel or CSV files - very frustrating, and I'm still looking for an answer. Now, I guess if you want to run Windows in another partition (e.g. w/ Parallels or Boot Camp), then you can load on Access and used like you do on a PC - I'm now retired and don't really need to run Windows on my Apple computers - will await others' responses - maybe a solution has 'popped up' recently? Good luck - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
