Good stuff Charlie and all. I understand what you are saying and how teddy is saying CSV etc. So am I hearing you say have them provide a CSV? Are there better solutions?
So I should ask them to create an automated daily CSV that we can navigate to and import? This sounds reasonable. I think I am about to propose this request to them. Charlie and Teddy: If you were me is that what you would ask for? As to minutely updates, I can deal with the occasional opps they sold the last one they said they had. That will rarely happen and the work to get them to integrate with me like that is unlikely. I understand that other competitors can use these services I am asking them to provide as well. Im ok with that. We charge HIGH!! We have the name, we are the premier Motorcycle Carburetor Source. We pretty much OWN the keywords in search engines. Everyone elsedoes all things for all people. We focus on carbs and our SEO shows it. So Im ok with being beat out price wise. Unfortunately this one vendor is the North American Distributor for the manufacturer that make 80-90% of the product line support for this industry. I pretty much CAN'T, not support their product line. Robert P.

I'm saying you would ask them to create a NEW page that take in URL variables to control what to show, and then not only shows only those records, but does so in a simpler way (not all that HTML that is designed for making the site friendly to humans). We're talking about getting them to create a new page (as you requested), but one to be used (consumed) only by other web applications, not real people. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Reil Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 2:53 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Vendor Data Problem HOW TO? I see where you are going but I don't know if that will work. The page that posts the data is at: Take a peek and see. I think it is too many pages and does not show complete info. http://www.siriusconinc.com/carb/parts.asp However I will be looking for part number "K?-????" where ? is a variable so maybe a search that the form is populated with a K in part number may make it easier. Though I see some undesireables. The only ones I want are: KH- (32 pages), KK- (7 pages), KS- (8 pages), KY- (13 pages). What would be the best: Type of file to have them provide, Way to filter this info either on provision or on filtering on my end. Robert P.
