While NeoOffice 1.2 Alpha, NeoOffice/J 1.1 and OpenOffice.org/X11 1.1.x do not include a separate database component like Microsoft Access, it is possible to use all of these programs to connect to existing MySQL or hsqldb databases and enter or manipulate data, including creating detailed forms and reports.

If you do not have a MySQL or hsqldb database, you can also create a simple database in NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org/X11—or even use a Calc table if your needs are very simple.

The various pages of this article contain information on installing, configuring, and using a these databases with NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org/X11.

Maybe insert a screenshot here to balance the length of the page vs. the length of the TOC--the TOC will get shorter when the articles are done, but storing comments there now until we decide on page names, etc.

Include a reference to the Address Book article somewhere, though it's not part of this article
