Hi Alan, The short answer is no, ExtendScript doesn't have any built-in ODBC capabilities. The closest you can get is to see if your database content can be exported to XML and then use ExtendScript to parse and import the XML to FrameMaker. ExtendScript has a built-in XML object that is pretty good. It has an xpath method that lets you perform XPath 1.0 queries on the XML object.

Colleagues, I'm a bit spoiled by the FrameScript database utilities, and am trying to do similar database publishing with Extendscript. For those on the list who have worked with both, does Extendscript provide any database I/O capabilities? (I believe the answer is "no"). If it does not, is there a Javascript library that you've found to be workable? -Alan -- Alan Houser Group Wellesley, Inc.
