OpenOffice.org, the open-source group of developers working on the free OpenOffice suite of applications, beat Microsoft to the punch and released the final version of its 1.1 bundle on Wednesday.

OpenOffice 1.1, a competitor to Microsoft in the productivity suite space -- Microsoft will release its newest edition, Office 2003, later this month -- is available now for downloading in Windows, Linux, and Solaris editions.

Version 1.1 includes a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation maker; includes one-click export of documents to Adobe's PDF format; sports an updated interface; offers enhanced support for Microsoft Office document formats; and loads faster than before.

The release of Version 1.1 of OpenOffice.org is a major achievement for the OpenOffice.org community. I say that because OpenOffice shares core code with Sun's branded StarOffice application suite.

OpenOffice 1.1 can be downloaded from the OpenOffice.org Web site (http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/1.1.0/).

Another Micro$oft alternative. ;)

Is Adabas database still part of OpenOffice and are there ODBC drivers for it? We have a database program that works off Access via ODBC and we want to move from MS Office. The programmer has disappeared from Earth.

You can do mostly the same with OpenOffice as you can with MS Access. Table design, query design, relation design, forms and reports. The big difference is that OpenOffice doesn't ship any database (only dbase) with it.

You need to choose your own (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MYDB, Adabas D, Oracle, etc. or even the MS Access file).

For more information look at the database (http://dba.openoffice.org/FAQ/index.html#msaccess) project site.

Eh? Chris, a 2 year old thread? lol
