Why doesn't this product ever include Access? What Microsoft product for the Mac is compatible with Access?

Microsoft was rather late to the game with Access. By the time they
developed it for Windows, FileMaker was so well-entrenched in the Mac market
that Microsoft decided not to try and compete.

So to answer your question: look into FileMaker Pro.

In addition to Adam's comments...
What do you mean by compatible? Do you mean a database program by Microsoft
for the Macintosh? If so, there is none, never was, and probably never will
be? If you mean able to read and write to Access databases, then Excel for
the Mac can do that via third party software.

There are several good database programs for the Mac (but none from
Microsoft), FileMaker is one, Panorama (http://www.provue.com/) is another,
so is 4D (http://www.4d.com/)
All are "compatible" with Office in that they can import data from, and
export data to Office for the Mac. Again, what do you mean by "compatible"?
