I thought I had posted this in Google, but it doesn't appear to be
showing up, so here goes again.
How can I link to MySQL databases on my Mac using MS Access on Virtual
PC?
I know how to mount the PC harddrive as a Mac OS X volume when VPC isn't
running, but I have no idea how to access Mac volumes from in VPC. Are
you sure this isn't a dual-boot Linux/Windows thing? It would be great
if it isn't.
Sincerely,
