Mac front end for MS Access Back end ...

Hi folks
We use an ACCESS database at my work for cataloging.
Is there a "front end" that we can run on a Mac thats on the network
that can access the tables on the server ?
Access is access 97, and the Mac is running OSX 10.3.9

Thanks !

First
throw out the access database

then go out and get a *real* database prgram
4D
filemaker
mysql

just about ANYTHING else

other than that -
try using ODBC

Thanks Fetch
Chucking Access isnt really an option.
Going down the ODBC route (which, other than chucking access, i guess is
the only route) is there a MAC odbc client that is pretty user friendly
that I can use as a front end. Anyone tried anything similar ?

Cheers !

4D has an ODBC client
I am not sure about filemaker -
Excel might have one too
