In fact Dataware II (publisher) from Dataware (www.dataware.com) does an excelent
job. I've using it myself with great results. What's better: it may automatically
generate databases for web access or for CD distribution. Web is great
for on-line access; CD is wonderful for long-term backup. It's worth a try.
