OpenOffice.org Database is pretty similar to what I remember Access being 
like when I last used it in the mid 90s. I've not been able to continue 
using it for more than about half an hour though.

Just tried it in Ubuntu 7.10 actually and it seemed slightly less painful.

I have no idea how it copes with multiuser however.
