So what you are looking for is something like Rekall?
If memory serves me correctly, didn't The Kompany put out a lower featured GPL'd version of Rekall? For some reason, I want to say it was added to the KDE project. Does this ring any bells with anyone?
If not, at $70.00 per seat (less for volume licenses), the price beats the pants off M$ Access at approx $100 - $130 per seat. And if you use a full database back end like Postgre or MySQL, OO.o has an awesome mail merge feature on the F4 key.
