How to Read MS Access on the Mac

The Mac OS does not include ODBC drivers.  You must install third party drivers.  We recommend (but do not support) Actual Technology Drivers.  

To configure these, please see How to Configure Actual Technologies Drivers on the Mac.

Once the DSN has been configured and tested, you can open the input MS access database in the Stat/Transfer data viewer to examine the data:

1) Open Stat/Transfer, choose the DSN and Stat/Transfer will read the dictionary of the first table:

2) Click the “View” button and examine the data in the Stat/Transfer Data Viewer.
