Long answer: Open Office will interface with Access through ODBC. And it will also pull data from MySQL, PostgresQL, Oracle, or anything else that has an ODBC/JDBC driver. You can even use OpenOffice as an Access-like front-end for these databases. Please see the documentation at http://documentation.openoffice.org for further info.
