• Access 2016 for Mac with Office 365 for Students. The software that I actually needed was Access 2016 or 2013 for my Database class this semester. However, I only found a $79 (for students) version of Microsoft Office 2016 For Mac Ultimate Essentials Bundle (Student Download) MAC. The only problem is that the Windows version comes with Access 2016.
• Microsoft Office 2016 - Unmistakably Office, designed for Mac. The new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote provide the best of both worlds for Mac users - the familiar Office experience paired with the best of Mac. If you already use Office on a PC or iPad, you will find yourself right at home in Office 2016 for Mac.
• Desktop versions of Office 2016 applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. One license covers 5 PCs or Macs. Optimized Office experience on 5 tablets and 5 phones. Save documents to your PC or Mac with offline storage. File storage and sharing with 1 TB of OneDrive storage per user for up to 5 users.
• My recommendation would be to ask for Access assistance in a Microsoft community. I would not use an online third party for Access. I would figure out how to use Access directly from Microsoft or I would get recommendations from the Microsoft community regarding how to best use Access on a Mac.

Mac users have several options for using Microsoft Access on their Macs.

Microsoft Office for Mac can do the following with Microsoft Access ACCDB and MDB files:

• 2011 and 2016: Get data from an Access file into an Excel Table or Excel PivotTable
• 2011 and 2016: Use Structured Query Language (SQL) in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and AppleScript automation
• 2011 and 2016: Use the macro recorder to get started with code
  
• 2011 only: Use a graphical user interface (Microsoft Query) to generate queries and reports from Microsoft Access
  
• Excel 2016 users can only vote here and hope someday Microsoft will restore this essential functionality lost to cost cutting
  

Limitations of Office for Mac with Microsoft Access

• Interaction with Access is Read-Only. Excel for Mac can not add, delete or modify records, fields, queries, views, tables or create anything new within Access.
  
• Only tables and views are available from Access databases. Forms and reports in an Access database are not available to Excel for Mac.
  

I need all Access features. Can I run Microsoft Access on my Mac? Yes!

Microsoft Access 2016 is available as a stand-alone product. You will need to have Microsoft Windows installed on your Mac either in Apple's Boot-Camp or in a virtual machine (Parallels or VMware). Using a virtual machine allows you to run Wndows and Windows applications simultaneously with your Mac OS apps. I recommend at least 16 gigabytes of RAM for running a virtual machine on your Mac.

File Maker Pro

FileMaker is probably the best known database application for the Mac. It has a feature set comparable to Microsoft Access, but with a strong focus on forms (layouts) as the primary way of accessing databases. Similar to Access, FileMaker stores your database logic and all the data in a single file. It also has some support for scripting, and offers options for publishing databases on the web.

However, it's also necessary to note that FileMaker is very different from Access. There is a strict distinction between application logic and the underlying tables in Access. In FileMaker, logic and data are more closely linked. The underlying tables are more or less hidden from the user, and not as easily accessible via SQL as in Access.

Bento

Bento was the entry level database application from the makers of Filemaker. Unfortunately it has been discontinued in July 2013 and is no longer available for purchase.

Open Office / Libre Office

Open Office and Libre office include a database application that tries to mimic Microsoft Access. It is difficult to use and misses many important features, such as simple import/export tools.

SQLite (using Base)

SQLite is not a full database application like Access. There are no forms or reports in SQLite, there's only your data and a simple, fast SQL engine. SQLite is used by many applications under the hood as an internal format and therefore most interesting to application developers.

A command line utility for SQLite 3 is included with every Mac, aptly named sqlite3. Most people will however prefer working with a graphical application like the excellent Base from Menial (available on the Mac App Store). Base offers a simple interface for viewing tables (with support for images) and creating custom SQL queries.

Apple Numbers and Microsoft Excel

Numbers and Excel are spreadsheet applications and thus not a replacement for Microsoft Access. However, they have good support for working with tables. If your database consists of only few tables and no forms, these apps might just do the trick. You can at least sort and filter your tables.
