OpenOffice as Base, but not sure what it's actual usability is so far. Beyond that I don't know of any good open source alternative to access. Most of the ones I use like Firebird, and Mysql solve problems that don't allow for your scenario.

What do people recommend for a good, easy to use, small company database app with query and form builders?  I have a small group of people sharing a nasty set of excel files and I want to move them up in the world, but I don't want to teach them to be DBA's and I don't want to do everything for them, all I want to do is set up the schema, import the data, write a few quays and let them play.  Basically I am looking for the open/free version of MS Access.  And don't tell me I need to run some $20K Oracle installation for 5 people to share a customer database. I have heard it all before, Don't let the end users have control, don't use DA's that don't have advanced permissions and record lock, etc. I have heard it all before and I still believe in application appropriate complexity.  I realy am looking for easy to use, but I have never used any (Other then Access, and I don't want to suport MS if I don't have to)
 
Suggestions?
