So how do you find these projects? Well take a look at http://www.osalt.com. This site allows you to search based on the name of a comercial product and will list the open source alternatives.

Hi Alan, you beat me to the punch! I only came across this site today myself and was going to let you know. I was looking into alternatives for Microsoft Access. Got any guidance on this?

Have you look at OpenOffice Base? I haven't used it recently but I think it is possibly as close as you'll get to Microsoft Access. You can get a description of the project here:

And the projects web site is http://dba.openoffice.org/

Sorry. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Help me! Need information about: Turbo Tax. I found only this - turbo tax. Recovery, drug rehab program, alcohol treatment. Alcohol treatment, women alcohol treatment womenstreatmentprogram. Best regards :eek:, Jedrek from Congo.
