  • It doesn't come much better than OpenOffice to be honest. What sort of problems are you having importing? And where are you importing from? Possibly consider saving as a different format in the source package for import into OpenOffice too.

    mysql is free - you should probably elaborate on what you want it for though.
  • I strongly suspect he's looking at a database like Access as opposed to a backend database.
