I have to do a (major) piece of coursework for my second year in A-level Computer Science .... , but i can't think of what to do , and time is running out , i have to get going on my project in september as school starts .. and i have 6 months to do it.. the coursework will account for 20 % of my overall grade .. in computing at the end of the year. The coursework cannot be a game,( so that kinda rulez out opengl if kagez was going to suggest me that ) The piece of coursework has to be a serious application for which there is going to be a client(s), my C skills are not that great at the moment. Any suggestions in this matter will be appreciated.. !!! If you want more info then say so ...

hey hey, OpenGL != games !
You could do a 3d model editor?
but seriously... how about a small language interpreter, or maybe even better, a database program? (ok, you won't get something like SQL in that short time, but you can code a small database in a few months )

A database program would be good , and sql is probably the best option, i am not sure how to use sql with C though, could you tell me of a tutorial explaining this, i have searched for sql and C , but 99 % of the searches returned C++ and SQL ...

SQL is only a standard... you can't use "SQL with C" or C++. You have to create a databse, which uses the SQL syntax to get stuff out the DB, or put it in there:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE value='stuff'
This is SQL. All databases which use this syntax are called SQL complaint databses...
