I do this for the local knowledge base and it enables me to publish to the IIS server with metatags it can recognize while also keeping the metadata where I want it for searching in MS Access. I used to call this a File-forward or lobster trap. That is, the HTML doesn't roll back into the database. It's a good way to work and no different from distribution on fixed media except the indexing services of IIS. BTW: when you do this, do you autogenerate the TOC and send it with the document, or keep it separate? This comes up in discussions of HTMLHelp systems which create HTML but compile it for distribution. I realize some of these practices originate in WinHelp. len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
