Hi all,

Thanks for the reply. What we are trying to do is produce an in-house catalog for 500 - 1000 existing products, we would design and then have printed by a commercial printer. We basically want to have more control over changes, updates, layout etc and cut down on long term costs.

Our current Database is an accounting package called TAS, but I would like to export the database from there in to something like Access or a program which will integrate as seamlessly as possible with Framemaker or In-Design.

We primarily want to produce a print catalog followed by producing the catalog as a pdf and then searchable online catalog. I am currently studying web design so I have a little background in graphic design and databases, but my brother who will also be contributing has no experience in this area.

What I would like to develop is a database that I can use for both the print and web projects. I believe Framemaker or In-Design will allow us to design the layout of the catalog but how do they integrate with a database and is there any database software in partiulcar that is recommended?

Thanks,
Mat
