Hi :) Kexi is the database app in Calligra. Calligra is a fork of KOffice. KOffice gave all their remaining database devs to Calligra and dropped their version of the database. Calligra seems very active.
Unfortunately Calligra and KOffice are really quite dependant on the K Desktop Environment (KDE). They do have a port for Windows (and possibly Mac, i'm not sure). Calligra have also developed a few apps that can work on mobile platforms but that doesn't include Kexi yet. So, the non-KDE versions of distros are going to ask for a lot of dependencies, probably Qt libraries and stuff. You will probably need to add the appropriate official repos. For Ubuntu you can try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to install all of Kubuntu into Ubuntu but you might want to revert to your Gnome or Unity DE at the login prompt (have a look along the bottom task-bar/panel when you get the login prompt). A few people are now working on Base. A couple of devs and i think 1 for documentation (might be 2). It is a tough challenge but that makes it fun right?

One of you noted about "Kexi" base program that's part of Office Suite of KDE ... as alternative of BASE. I installed that Office suite in Fedora 15 and opened access 2003 data base that I have. I can't probe with 2007 access data base because I don't have an example of that. I'm not use it a lot but it looks good. I suggest to others to test it if have time and are interested because it would be an alternative to BASE if it won't improve in the next time. I have to say that the KDE complete Office suite (Included Kexi) isn't in Ubuntu 10.04 lts repositories. I think is a recently improved program of KDE. I hope this post help some one though it isn't part of LO.
