Hello

I would like to have vba for Mac access which would have one button on click of that button the file open dialogue button would display wherein I can select multiple folders and can zip it.

I don't have Mac os if someone can help me on this.


Thanks

Unless something has changed, Access can't be run on a Mac.

Unless...you have an alternate OS startup option like Boot Camp. Once you have that installed, you can then install any OS you want.

I had it for awhile and didn’t seem to have any issues. A lot dB enthusiasts use LibraBase which is part of the LibraOffice. Both run on the MAC OS with no issues. There is even a Forum for it much like this one but I never explored it much beyond finding its existence.

Sure, I've got my boss running my apps on his Mac with VMware Fusion. It still isn't running on the Mac itself, and the question appears to relate to the Mac OS.

Agreed. I was certain you were aware of this, I didn’t know if DevAccess did...and...I assumed he/she wanted it solely for Access and not the rest of the MS Office apps.

Which begs the question, IS inter app automation even possible on a Mac?

I've moved the thread out of the Access forums to Excel.
