Hi,

I'm sure someone will be good enough to supply an example for you that
can answer more questions that it raises.
If not I will try, since I suggested you ask for our help
that would be wonderful. I dream of a sample database that is either
installed together with the OOo software, or which can be easily
downloaded from a web site.
I think a good idea will be to have this database in the "presets"
[$OOO_INST_DIR$/presets/database/], just like now we have the
biblio.odb. This database will be installed for every user of the PC.
This way, we make sure that every user knows what the help files are
talking about (Besides, it would be very easy to link from the help file
to that database; here by "link" I mean a link that opens the ODB document).
This would ask for an HSQLDB database as a
single Base file, with some tables, queries, forms, and reports
included, as well as some records with data. Just the basics, no special
functions, so that the normal user can easily inspect the database and
learn what is possible with Base.
In the application help we can then refer to this database whenever an
example is more appropriate than an abstract syntax diagram ;-)
In the past we had a sample database installed together with StarOffice
(version 5.2 if I remember right). It was a "my movies collection" type
of database. That may lead to some copyright problems with the records,
so a more neutral topic should be chosen.

Bye and luck,
Ariel.
