Hi :) I think Kexi and the rest of Calligra/KOffice has a Windows version just as LibreOffice does. Calligra/KOffice uses ODF natively and presumably can use MS formats although i'm not sure quite how well. Regards from Tom :)

Can you create a db/form/query in Kexi and give it to a Windows, Mac or Solaris user and then have that work ? If not, then it is no better than Access, or Lotus Approach.
