Our existing knowledge base articles are stored within an
MS Access database (via an application called PropWeb). We
want to convert all these articles over to RoboHelp. The
content for each article is located in an Access table
called PROP, all in html code within each record (which
PropWeb then displays to a user using a web interface).
Each article within this table may also include references
or links to various attachments (which are separate files
outside of the database). The attachments could be JPG
images or PDF files, etc.
The problem I am running into is fundamentally an Access
export issue...
MS Access as the ability to export to different file
formats, including HTML and RTF. However, the resulting
file contains all the data in a large table. I don't want
to import a HUGE table as a single topic into RoboHelp. I
want each record separated out into it's own topic.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Has anyone
successfully converted PropWeb articles over to RoboHelp?
If not, does anyone know how to convert an MS Access
database so each record can be imported into RoboHelp as a
separate topic? Help! I would rather not have to do this
by cutting and pasting it all one by one.
