VB and McIntosh

Bill hates macs, so neither vb or access exist in any form for the mac(at least from ms).
The closest option I have found is a VB style 'clone' called RealBasic (used to develop 'Internet Explorer 5 Macintosh Edition') at and is about $300.
There are some migration tools around for vb to rb(the web site says vb form migration is built in, may be good), but they are(were) imperfect at best. It has its own database as well, so it can replace vb and access easily.
The other thing with realbasic is it compiles using a c compiler so it is fast and lightweight (no library of components to distribute), and can compile to mac or ibm!
Your other option is to encourage your end users to get an ibm emulator for the mac and just distribute what you already have (around $400 each).
