In Quick Queries 98, we will address why Microsoft Access has never had a native version for Mac, discussing both the technical challenges and business decisions behind it. We will look at the best ways Mac users can still run Access today, such as using Parallels, VMware, or Remote Desktop. We will also talk about Power Apps licensing, options for connecting to SQL Server and MySQL, converting Access forms for web use, using Google Forms for surveys, and some recent updates to Access and related community feedback including questions about the Office color palette and website design.
