Microsoft Office and Access

We currently have Microsoft Office 2011 which doesn't have Access included. Is it possible to buy Access for a MAC separately? Or what would be the solution?

Hi Norman Park, I would have to ask the question why do you want a database package? What is the purpose? Your website is using Wordpress which I would be surprised if it doesn't sit over a database and most probably mySQL (free open source database product). If you wanted to keep data local (on pc rather than on the web) then you could always download mysql free and to make it slightly easier to manage use WAMP - agrain free. Admittedly you will need to understand some database skills, but the support on forums is fairly extensive. These are just some suggestions that may not fit with what you want to do, but worth mentioning. I'm happy to call you and help if you wish. Glenn glenn@glennarkell.com.au P.S. I hate spending money on anything that can be provided free.Reply by Adam Kwiatkowski from DevApp on Wednesday, 12 October, 2016 - 17:14
Thanks Glen. Very good points. CiviCRM works well with Wordpress. You can make custom fields too and collect any type of information you want. See https://civicrm.org/ - Completely free. Works with Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla.
