wait you asked IT to use something other than Access and they turned you down :rolleyes:
I am on a mission to eliminate Access... the day i can distribute office with out Access will be a glorious day indeed
No IT Dept should be telling users to use Access.....

I've had that same conversation, but subsititute FileMaker for Access (no access to Access on a Mac). I can run anything I want on my own Mac, but there's no way to make it shareable with the rest of the office.
At work, we want to build a simple database and app to interface against it. Asked our boss, asked the IT guys, got the same answer:
A : "Sure, but it has to be MS Access"
Q : "Why though, PostgreSQL / SQLite/ etc. works fine"
A : "Because we already have MS Access"
Q : "OK - could we at least get [programming language + frameworks] for the interface part"
A : "Use Excel and VBA. We already have that"
