.accdb file in OSX?

[Rob377]

Is there any way I can open and manipulate an accdb file in OS X? Maybe open office or something like that?

Not sure that Open Office would open an Access file. Worth a try, won't cost you anything but time, but I'm pretty sure the only way to do it is to be running Access on a Mac running Windows in Parallels or Boot Camp.

DBVisualizer might do it.

DbVisualizer - The Universal Database Tool

You may need to get a JDBC driver to work with it, not sure. I use it all the time to talk to MS SQL servers, so I can recommend it on that basis. I just don't know about its Access capabilities.

Tried it, no joy.

Booted up in Windows, but I don't have Office Pro.

I'll have to try the DB visualizer next.

What are you trying to do with it?
