How to view a Team Sites (WSS) Document Library in a Portal (SPS) SubArea

I've never really found a good answer to this question, so I thought
I'd post it to the room. I have various department Team Sites created
(WSS), and I'd like to access the Shared Document Library of each
Department on a Portal SubArea (SPS). Is there anyway to do this?
I've read it can be done in Frontpage, but I've yet to find any
instructions on how to do it.

So simple question --- possible? Yes or no. And if yes, is there a
how-to or something to explain how to do this? I'm not a Microsoft
programmer, nor am I proficient in Front Page, so I'll need a how-to
with some hand holding if this is possible. I'm slowly learning how all
this comes together, but reading pages upon pages of text does me
little good... I learn by example, so good how-tos or step-by-step
tutorials are what I really need.

Thanks in advance ---

I usually just use a dataview if I need to make them appear on the portal site.

You could look at some third party webparts like CorasWorks - they have
a document rollup functionality that lets you view documents stored in
any area/site/workspace in any other part of the Portal.

Hi Ronnie,

I've looked at CorasWorks website, but with what we've already spent to
setup Sharepoint there's no way we can shell out another $1600 to add
features that IMO should've been included with Sharepoint outta the
box. I'm working on a solution from the Database angle to get this
moving, and with a few more tweaks it should be ready to roll. Once
done, I'll post it here for others to use if ever needed.

Just my opinion, but to roll-up a few event lists into one, that's not
worth $1600.

FWIW --
