You got part right, the database I use at home is Edibase for DOS, the
program has been updated for Windows, too expensive for that and the web

I think what Norm is trying to do (Norm correct me if I'm wrong) is
se
so one of your questions is, if i may paraphrase,
"what database manager should i use?"
i believe that you said that it has only eight
hundred records?
and it's only a single table?
you can manage it manually with little trouble?
and it's a low volume web site?
pardon my sacrilege, but if t
Hi Norm,
It sounds to me like we have some lack of clerity. Let me see if I can place some
useful definitions:
- CSV
A text format for representing data.
- CSV file
A file written in the CSV format.
- Database
A place to store data.
- Program
Software that does something.
- Database
Hi,
Ok, I guess I was confusing everyone. I thought this was a simple
problem, we need a search engine to search through our data, I might be
able to convert to csv, or I found another way...
example...

-COMMENTS-
999 try6
-ORG_LEVEL_1-
SARNIA COMPUTER USERS' GROUP
-AL
there may be some willing to help, but having
trouble understanding.
i don't know about anybody else, but i've been
following this since his first posting, and my
simple mind is having trouble identifying his
problem. is it technical, organizational, or
sociological?

Search with what? Do you mean the page at:
http://www.informs
Hi,
Sounds like I am confusing everyone...
I only have one database with over 800 records
The data on the website is the result of my database.
I wish to search on words in each record.
I might be able to export each record as a CSV file?
Clear as mud (I think)
Thanks again,
Norm

"Individual web pages for each one", does this refer to items like:
http://www.informsarnialambton.org/listing/36.HTM
Hi,
In the DOS database (EDIBASE) I use at home, each organization is
seperate, I exported all data as a text file, then I had to create
individual web pages for each one. I have a list of each numbered web
page. I would like to have only one database, instead of changing
individual ones as needed.

Are these web pages actual individual files, or are they simply information in a
database someplace that needs to get displayed?

Hi,
It is 760 organizations listed, when I said two, I meant that on the WWW
I have over 700 individual web pages that EXCITE does a search for and
my main database in DOS. I don't know whether my server has these
programs, I can check.
Thanks
Norm
