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.

Your use of NEVER may be based on experience, but if it's based on the
opinion of others, you may want to give it a chance. Even if you go with

I change to another variable in the same place, and it works just fine.
Linda,
How long is your table title? If it is too long to add the variable at
the end, FM won't automatically wrap. You have force the table title to
wrap (set the right indent on the Paragraph catalog) and then you will
see the variable again.

The biggest problem with Vista was that Microsoft over-promised and
under-delivered, late!

I'm importing graphs created in Excel. Works fine, life is good, they seem
to import at the right size/shape, all is good.

Sorry. nevermind. I figured it out.
My first attempt who knows what I did. When I re-imported and rotated, it
looks awful on the screen (and I have a very nice monitor), but looks fine
in PDF and print.
