Is there an Access version for Mac? How compatible is it with mdb.

I'm an experienced Access programmer but I've never had to create a database
to bridge between two different OS's. Is there a Mac version of MS Access and
is it relatively simple to convert mdb's back and forth? I could probably do
this using ODBC or a web page interface, but it needs to be simple since the
other site is far away (Hawaii) and the people are not terribly computer
savvy. Any ideas?

If you want to stick with Access you'll need to develop a web browser
interface.

Otherwise, you might like to check out 4th Dimension
(http://www.4d.com/) which comes in Windows and Mac versions. It's
conceptually reasonably similar to Access (much more so than FileMaker).
