And we do (OOo does) have Base...Chris,
If you are looking for an Access-like DB you might try SQLite. We have docs for it in the HOW-TO section of documentation. THere is even an SBDC driver for it.
... coming up in 2.0. If you are using developer builds or beta versions, please remember that it is not recommended that you use them in a production environment. So if you have left your assignment to the last minute, or have to do something for work that you have brought home, it is probabably not a good idea to play and experiment with the developer builds for these tasks with imminent deadlines.
But if you have the time to spare and the inclination, we encourage people to test these new interim versions and submit issues to IssueTracker so that we can make the final version the best we can :) If the OOo database component (MS Access like) is important to you, but you don't have the time and have a few Euros to spare, please consider responding to the call for contributions to the HSQLDB project (http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/web/openoffice.html), the OOo Base database engine.
And Justin Clift has created three tutorials to get you started with OOo Base, see:
