    How to make Access available to everyone in the company

    I have built a database and an interactive form to access specific data. Is there a way to publish this database to the web for people to use that don't have Access installed on their computer? I have done some reading, and all I could find is via Sharepoint. Is this the only option? If so, how does it work, and is there any problems if Mac or Windows both use it?

    If your staff does not have a licensed version of Access, you could use Access Run Time. Look at this link.

    Additionally, you should split your db into a front end and a back end.

    I don't believe that you can run Access on a MAC unless it has windows installed and emulates a windows machine.

    If we uploaded the Access database to Sharepoint would Mac's be able to use then?

    I am not a MAC expert and cannot opine on the matter. I ran a google search on "How to run MS Access on a MAC." Many hits. Here is one that may help you in your decision. But unless you have a windows environment, it is going to be expensive in dollars and time commitment.
