Hi Scott, A more direct path would be to write a script in the FrameScript language that queries your database and builds the FrameMaker document directly. You could easily build a structured or unstructured document, depending on your preference.
If you have xml in your database, a FrameScript solution with structured FrameMaker is especially attractive, because you can use the MSXML OCX parser in combination with FrameScript. FrameScript allows you to use OCX controls, and the MSXML OCX control gives you the power of XPATH and XQUERY directly within FrameMaker. Note that I specialize in FrameMaker internals development. Feel free to contact me off list if you would like additional information, Martin Martin R. Smith Web Site: http://www.golehtek.com
