One thing I always liked about Microsoft Access was the ease with which you could link to various different kinds of datasources and generate rapid queries and so forth. However you can open MS Access databases in OOBase, but you can't take advantage of the forms and reports in an MS Access Database. Unfortuantely you can't just convert an access mdb to its format like you can with other Open office suite products - Word to Writer Writer to Word etc.
While it is not as feature rich as Microsoft Access, it has been getting increasingly better and has some unique features that even Microsoft Access lacks. OpenOffice Base is the equivalent of Microsoft Access in the OpenOffice Open source suite. For those who are not familiar with OpenOffice Base.
