Would StarOffice work here? I understand that OpenOffice differs from StarOffice with its database. StarOffice's database is not open source so it is not available in OpenOffice.
I tinkered briefly with StarBase in the last version of StarOffice before it became a commercial product again. It opened MDB files.

The only thing that can reliably manipulate Access database files is the Mi¢ro$oft Jet database engine. That is available only on Win32.
You can get much greater functionality and reliability through the use of SQL-based database engines like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
