Stephen,

I think that you are very right to consider FrameMaker for your project. I heard third hand that PM has some serious memory limitations and can easily crash after 70 pages. It could be the way PM handles memory, rather than XP, which is causing the instability you witnessed.

You may want to look into FrameScript for low cost database publishing.
 <http://www.framescript.com>
In the documentation, check out fsldb.pdf. I find FrameScript a bit awkward and difficult to use, but it is only $150.

I do database publishing with PatternStream and I know that it would do what you want beautifully, but I understand cost issues. The Runtime version is less expensive but then you have to pay a developer to do the PatternStream coding.
