[dba-Tech] OT: Anyone Using Base?

I played with it "Base" for a while but found it was definitely not Access.
There are a host of superior languages, that with the help of an application
like IIS or Apache can run right off your desktop. PHP and ASP.Net would be
your best common choices as far as I can tell.

I have always admired MS Accesses' excellent presentation manager but have
avoided its less than stellar BE.

Subject: [dba-Tech] OT: Anyone Using Base?

I have downloaded and installed OpenOffice just to check it out. I notice
that there is an "Access clone" called Base. Has anyone on this list used it
for anything meaningful? I don't really need it or O-O for that matter, but
in my retirement years I am on the lookout for free stuff for NGOs where I
volunteer.

TIA,
Arthur
