Is OpenOffice.org right for me?

Hi
I print a lot of labels at work. I need a way of using a small app which my users can select from a variety of drop down menus picking the right criteria for that label. That software exports the answers to a text delimited file which my label software is linked to.
I was told I need to use a database program and dont want to have a copy of Access on each machine. Does Base allow me to perform all that I require? Although my software (Bartender) will allow me to connect to a SQL/Foxpro etc database it all seems a little bit overkill for my needs.
Also although I am vaguely computer literate I have never used a database program and time is of the essence so I am keen to find the quickest solution possible and don't have a lot of time to learn some basic database skills.
So could I learn quickly? Does it do what I want? Or can someone suggest a better option?
Many thanks
