I am so glad to hear that others have the same concerns as I do about OOBase.
With the aquisition of MySQL, the potential exists for implementing a back-end that is far more robust that MS Access. That said, as a very quick (and very dirty) development tool, MSAccess is hard to match.
DISCLOSURE NOTE: I have ORACLE experience and found it's development tools to be superior in every respect (as you would expect at ORACLE's prices).
OOBase has crashed on me more times that I can remember and it is just not up to the job. I know that tons of work has been done by very good and well-intentioned people. I just wish that this was shipped over to Google's Summer of Code (as a start) and to have some monies come from Sun as well.
Last note: you could develop ORACLE's forms (in 8i) and then compile them right to java. They were immediately browser ready and platform independant. With Sun's opening of JAVA, if OOBase could achieve this, it would be amazing.
