Hi Christopher,

First of all a warm welcome. Developers are rarely spread these days :-)

I would first start with some text describing what you want to develop 
and may be you could add some mock-ups to the text. The text could also 
be seen as a pre specification. After that you should send the text to 
this list that all have the opportunity  to add their 2 cents. ;-)
The next step then would be to be able to build OOo. The current dialog 
location is in the module dbaccess in the folder source/ui/dlg
And if you need any assistance feel free to ask, as always.

Best regards,

Ocke

PS: The normal process is to
- define a specification
- ask  User Experience for input
- develop the code
- ask QA to check
- done

But this is the prefect world and as everybody knows a specification may 
change over time ;-)
