Hello Rajaraman, > This is a group of students and a professor wishing to work on the project > to implement "Joins in dBase queries" and/or "SQL Syntax Highlighting".

In general, the best documentation you'll find is the source code itself :-\ So, to start, you should definitely have a working OOo build environment, and a good debugger :) In addition to what Ocke said, I added some more information for starting those projects to the Wiki. See I though the best place for this information is to be in the wiki, so I extended the respective project descriptions. See http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_To-Do/Joins_in_dBase_queries and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Base_To-Do/SQL_Syntax_Highlighting for some initial thoughts on this. Also note that after I roughly sketched the syntax highlighting implementation, I had to adjust the estimated effort, the original 2 weeks sounded too optimistic to me. So, if you or your students want to embark on any of those projects, I suggest you - get a build/debug environment running - poke in the code I pointed to in the Wiki, to see whether all this is complete nonsense to you, or whether you can make sense of it - sketch an implementation - carry this sketch to the final feature, accompanied all the way long here in [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ciao Frank -- - Frank Schönheit, Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/staroffice - - OpenOffice.org Base http://dba.openoffice.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
