btw, if you want, you can look at my site and see the search feature. www.michael-sexton.com/rlb/search.cfm
try performing a search for GE and you will see roughly 551 results. Most are not complete as far as records for each result, but eventually thei will contain info about wattage, voltage, base, glass, and all. So then a user could click on a dropdown list for say "glass" and narrow all those GE products down based on glass criteria. > Hey Rick, thanks for the reply.
