I have to do a data base for class and I don't have Microsoft access. Someone told me that you can use open office to create a data base and microsoft access can open it. Is this true? please help

Yes, OpenOffice includes somethign called Base (unless the name has changed) which is the equivalent to Access and according to the site includes MS Access support (which FYI is a broken SQL)

For power users in the enterprise, BASE delivers native support drivers for a variety of multi-user database engines: MySQL, Adabas D, MS Access and PostgreSQL.
