Can we replace MS Access yet?

Last time I checked, making reports with Base (and the ReportBuilder plugin) was horrible. The reports were static - they didn't update if you re-opened the report.

It works OK browsing tables though (if you install the Sun java, rather than openjdk - otherwise the speed is terrible - maybe the new native postgresql driver will fix that issue!)

I'm with you on this one. I've built many of my clients "down'n'dirty" Access apps. I can't get them off MS Office because of the "well since we have to buy Access, let's just stay with the whole suite" type comments/perspective.
