Hi Benno, I don't think it is possible to validate a target database. See this previous mail for the reasons:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200611/msg00135.html A missing .db file is actually a well-formed error. Oxygen's Check Welformedness option will report such errors, as will xmllint without --validate.

This has no effect on the successful outcome of the document/olink generation, but it makes it difficult to find an real error, for example a missing *.db file or something. I use oXygen 11.2 for validation, but I had the same problem with xmlmind. Is there a solution for this problem or do I have to extend the dtd myself? Thanks, Benno
