Just had a play - seems ok, and you can set it up so the gui is 
French, which suits us. I have passed it on to our French teacher. We 
have a French Immersion stream in junior school, and use StarOffice 
(and XP) with a French gui, but the main thing they missed is 
Publisher, so well loved by students.

Yes, it imports the tables fine, but imports the queries as tables 
too. Students don't use Access, but I do, and I'm too lazy to do all 
the macros and code again!
