    Two options I know.

    1. running Windows OS and Access with Mac bootstrap

    2. running an app called CrossOver

    Not sure if it works with MS Office, but you could try Wine too.

    Wine doesn't work well with MS Office; the screen starts getting blurry and...oh wait, you meant Wine software.

    My boss has a Mac and uses VMWare Fusion with a Windows VM. So far has worked very well.
