Not the server Eric.  You need a Windows VMware Player and a Virtual 
Machine of Windows with Access - which would have to be created by 
VMware Workstation or the GSX or ESX servers.

I believe a better solution to be Parallels Workstation - free trial $50 
purchase.  You'd of course need Windows and Access but this is a very 
slick solution.

I'm running Parallels Desktop for Intel Macs and you ought to see 
GNU/Linux, Windows XP Pro, and Solaris 10 scream in these VMs.  Beauty 
here is they are only files!  Don't like Solaris (I didn't) just delete 
the file. 

No partitions, no threats to your base OS, no complex alteration to your 
system, works right through the hardware of the host machine.  On the 
Mac that's pretty impressive to be sure.
