- There is no MS-Access designed for the Mac OS, however if you still wish to proceed then you can either Boot Camp your Hard drive with both Windows and Mac OS where you can install MS-Access in Windows and use it on your Mac or buy a copy of Windows Parallel and run it along with your Mac OS.
- Then click OK when you’re prompted to allow Microsoft Remote Desktop access to your camera. Once you’ve reached the main MRD screen, click the Add PC button. From here you’ll need to enter some info about your Windows computer.
Currently, Microsoft does not make Access that runs natively on a Mac. However, that doesn't mean you are out of luck. In fact, you have a few options.
Installing Microsoft Access On Mac Os
The first solution is to use Citrix and log in to the Student Lab which already has Access installed.
If you are looking to install Access (or other MS software) on your Mac directly, you can either use Boot Camp or Parallels. Boot Camp allows you to install regular Windows on your Mac, thus you can then install any MS software. Parallels lets you run Microsoft software without having to log out of your Mac and boot into Windows.
