Improvement to Open Office
OK,
This is a nice tutorial on how to open up MS Access Databases in Open Office 2.0. (A glaring hole, that they apparently left on purpose. If you get the pay version of Open Office, you don’t have to jump through these hoops.)

If I get some time, I could write a script to do this. Or better yet, create a macro inside Base so that it becomes seemless for the user to open up MS Access databases. (Just a reminder to myself to do this.)
