Question

Multiple Topics in DOC output but not Web

I've inadvertently posted this to another msg. of mine, So apologies for that.
Anyway - here's the problem:
This is odd -
I've created a conditional build-tag called FINANCE, and one called EVERYTHING ELSE. So I've assigned FINANCE to just that Dept (ie the ''Top folder/Book) , and all others get the EVERYTHING ELSE tag in the same way.
Thus we have, to use the above example:

FINANCE (Finance tag applied)
BOOK1
Subject 1
BOOK2
Subject 2

FOOD&BEVERAGE ('everythingelse' flag applied)
BOOK3
Subject 3
BOOK4
Subject 4


Now when I compile it using the criteria, it does work perfectly - with one exception. The resulting build gives me the Finance Dept, but also one of the other depts - it's always the same one....'Food and Beverage' which of course falls under the 'EVERYTHING ELSE' tag.
I cleared all the Conditional Build tags before doing the above, and saved the project before going any further.
This only happens for the web based version, generating *.DOC, *.PDF using the same tags does not exhibit this problem...
Now I'm confused......
Any ideas folks??
Thanks
Al

Now -here's another oddity.........
If I assign a new Build Tag to the two offending Topics - Which are the Open&Close, and Job Description for the Receiving Clerk. - so let's say I assign them to a new build Tag, which is assigned to another Dept - for example Operations. Which once again isn't included in the build.............
Now generate...
This time the ENTIRE Inventory section dissapears.....Explain that one.....

First thought: Check your conditional build expression for WebHelp output. It might not be defined as "FINANCE."

Hi Chet,
Nope, I'd already tried that - but I gave it another run through just in case.
You see, one of the other odd things is that when it includes this other dept or indeed departments - which it's also prone to do. The resultant build does give the full version of the required dept, but not the entire contents of the ones which also appear in conjunction with it.
Also - it's not consistent, so for example. the compiled build Dept A, contains parts of B & D, but compiled Dept E might contain parts of A & D etc.....
As I said - I've tried stripping ALL the build flags and starting from scratch to no avail............also I ensure that which ever version of Web interface, ie, Internet Explorer v6, V7, and FireFox does clear all its cache when it closes, thus starting afresh each time.
There just doesn't seem to be any logic in this at all.

When you generate FINANCE, what appears in the Conditional Build Expression field in the first WebHelp window?
