I cannot comment on the comparison between MS Access vs Ooo Base as it applies to forms or reports. What I would like to comment on is its ability to connect to a variety of databases, giving me access to the data therein. I develop websites and web applications that heavily rely on a database backend. I use Ooo Base extensively to look at my data. I find it more useful than PHPMyAdmin because of the ease with which I can order data based on a particular field (or multiple fields, with a few extra mouse clicks) and because of the simple ways of getting data out to a word processor for printing (useful when examining sets of data). I can also create and save SQL queries that will again allow me to export to a word processor for printing.

Just my views and comments on a valuable tool I use regularly,
Rodney
