Don't quite know if this answers your original question, but an excellent link to a relevant article was posted by one James Jensen on the K12LTSP list: (quote) for those looking for a comparative GNU/Linux replacement for M$ Access: "OpenOffice.org 1.0, unixODBC, and MySQL (updated 19th April for RedHat 9)" By John McCreesh http://www.unixodbc.org/doc/OOoMySQL9.pdf This definitive, updated document demonstrates how to configure OpenOffice.org (they like you to call it that instead of just OpenOffice, not sure why but it works for me...) as a frontend for use with MySQL comparative (yet more robust) to the functionality found in M$ Access...
