Hello,
I'm developing a central user database to control access to multiple moodle instances. Can anyone tell me where to start. Has anyone attempted this before and do they have any advice?

Sorry for the bump. Can anyone help me with this. I want to be able to control users from one central database and direct each user to the correct moodle instance.
Have a look at the Moodle network stuff. It does not do exactly what you want, but it should be a good start. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Network
More generally, you should look into authentication plugins. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Authentication. If you can't do what you want any other way, you could write your own plugin, starting with one of the existing ones, but redirecting everyone to one central Moodle to log in, then redirecting them to the correct moodle instance once login is complete.
