Thanks guys. I got a good feel of what to do. Teddy: I have a relationship with them and then it kind of fell apart when Harry started managing the store. Martin however is a realist. The E-Store is an ASP managed by a consultant. He wont give me the consultant contact info so we can not collaborate, but he filters, and then forwards.
I think he will go for the csv and I sent him this request as a result. I cant thank you guys enough. Guess what it looks like my first real project will be...

Either way will work. I've made my point for why checking on demand (via either cfhttp or a web service) may be better than just getting a daily feed. It's really your (and their) call. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Reil Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 3:55 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Vendor Data Problem HOW TO? 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.
