Automatic document creation. How?

Renegade:
Here's a good example of when to choose Access...

I just installed the latest version of the Infralution Licensing System, and it had an option to install with an Access database or MS SQL Server/Express.

Since this is only for my own use, SQL Server is massive overkill. Access also allows easier portability. Done.

Came across this list of InDesign/InCopy plugins earlier today and I thought it might help solve some of these issues:

In particular Em Software with their product InCatalog (DB integration with InDesign):

Thanks Oshyan!  That emcatalog sounds just right.  Boy, it's expensive ($800), but may be well worth it.

JavaJones:
You're welcome. I immediately thought of your needs when I saw that. Check out their other plugins (EMSoft) as well as the others on that Adobe plugin page too. There are some other promising-sounding ones too. None of them cheap, but if they allow you to have a great workflow, then I'm sure it's worth it.

There's also another software called EasyCatalog.  I'm very happy to see these out there, for a while I felt like I was the first person to ask for such a thing, and I knew that was crazy.
