"The Da Vinci Code" is a "novelization" of the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" from about 30 years ago. Pretty tough book to plough through, but essentially the same story of conspiracy at the highest levels of the catholic church and it's associated secret societies.
Brown's novel uses old tales much like the conspiracy tales based on the Illuminati stories - I can't see condemning Brown for producing a sucessful entertainment vehicle - I think it's incumbent upon the reader to realize it's a novel and not immediatly assume it's entirely factual - I think people who've raised hell about Brown's book are missing their own role in the situation.
