Does anybody know if Microsoft does a version of Access for Mac OSX? I've got Office 2004 for Mac, but there's no Access included for that and I need it to access a lot of stuff on our company intranet.

Soggy,
There is no Mac version of Access, as you have probably found out by now. The easiest way might be to get an emulator, such as Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/) for the occasions where you need to use Access. You could also consider Bootcamp (http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/) if you are using Access a lot, where dual booting is perhaps more worthwhile.
There is an interesting article here (http://www.agentjim.com/MVP/Excel/Office2004andAccess.doc) about connecting to and using Access databases on the Mac. It is possible, but you need the right software (detailed in the article).
