Hello Mark, I 'm the person, who had written most of the German Base-Handbuch.

What Do you mean with "test scripts"? Could it be you are looking for example-databases? There are some databases already translated to english, but some other examples aren't. The examples of the Base-Handbuch 4.1 you will find here together with the chapters of the whole Base-Handbuch. > > I'm no C programmer so I don't think I've got a lot to offer with > coding.

Don't know where the English chapters of the old Handbook could be downloaded. ODF-Autors, I think. The english version is made with of the German Base-Handbuch 3.5. Only the chapter for the reports is from version 4.0. I have seen, there is a version 4.0 - but it seems to be the same. I have created a Calc-document, which shows the difference between the versions (only the chapters, which had been added) and, marked by comments, the chapter, where you could find the new functions of Base in version 4.1. This new functions are a "must be" for a book for version 4.1. This document, together with the whole LO 4.1-Handuch, you can find here: http://robert.familiegrosskopf.de/lo_hb/ The docoment, which show the difference, is http://robert.familiegrosskopf.de/lo_hb/Vergleich_Base_Handbuecher.ods All these documents are written in German. But when I would try to translate it could be I don't find the right words for the content. My favorite website with a whole traffic when reporting bugs is http://www.dict.cc/ So could be better that someone will translate, who speaks English very well.
