Here is a video explaining how you can get a free cloud server with amazon and install office on it for free. Then you can remotely access it with your mac. Back in the day, FileMaker Pro ruled the Mac side of the desktop database world. Microsoft Access did the same for Windows PCs. It was a cash cow for Microsoft. They saw no reason to port it to OS X. It’s a fairly specialized app, and an expensive.
Software developers, data architects and power users have expressed a need to run Microsoft Access on their Mac without partitioning their hard drives or restarting. Firstly, if you fall into this category, Parallels Desktop for Mac can assist you with developing application software without. In computer security, mandatory access control (MAC) refers to a type of access control by which the operating system constrains the ability of a subject or initiator to access or generally perform some sort of operation on an object or target.In practice, a subject is usually a process or thread; objects are constructs such as files, directories, TCP/UDP ports, shared memory segments, IO.
