150 entries doesn't sound like an outrageous amount of ncx entries to me, but no, I've never created an ebook that had an ncx that even approached that number of entries. Are they in collapsible/nested "sections" or is everything in the TOC on one level?

And for the record... as frustrating as "does it validate" might be for you, it's still the easiest/sanest way to start troubleshooting. Especially if you're looking to bring in outside help. Validation provides a "ground zero"... everybody is starting on the same page. Otherwise, there's too many unknown variables for anyone to be able to methodically eliminate/determine problem areas. Especially with no actual code to vet.

So that's where we're at: I don't know of any hard limits for the number of NCX entries (that only affect the mobile RMSDK), and even if there were... I doubt highly that 150 entries would be in violation of that limit. So we're right back to "what might be wrong with the code?" And since you can't share the code, what we have to work with is that your ePub doesn't validate. *shrugs*
