Sorry for those who've already seen this, but if you're interested in seeing OpenOffice have a database that will be an easy replacement for MS Access, then your help is needed: http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/openoffice.html If you haven't already had a look, download the latest build of v2 prerelease: http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html and have a look at the DB part.
