Once again, may I recommend Valet? It deals with this problem by generating publishable/deliverable reports. To generate such a report, the user has to check all the warnings in the automatic report, and it will only be marked as a "Pass" if every warning is marked as "Guideline Satisfied" or "Not applicable" (from a menu of six statuses). All versions support these reports, but the Enterprise Edition goes further by keeping the reports in the Audit trail, which can then be queried and reviewed at any time. That's particularly relevant when documents get updated and you need to keep track of whether updates affect accessibility. -- Nick Kew Nick's manifesto: http://www.htmlhelp.com/~nick/
