Hi,
It is still a frequently asked question on the web-forums oooforum.org 
and user.services.openoffice.org

Access can do it.
Base looks like the equivalent to Access just like Writer to WinWord.
Base must be capable doing it.

The architecture is a 3rd-party Java backend (HSQLDB), a 3rd-party 
report engine (Pentaho in the report builder extension) and a platform 
independent office suite with regular office documents as carriers of 
forms and reports. The portable document is a zip archive bundling 
configuration, binary backend and text documents (forms&reports).
This does not compare to a monolithic executable binary file bound to 
one particular platform of the very same vendor.
