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)
Quote:
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.
