"sorry if this is off post ...will be my last"
Thx in advance for your help and interest.
i am an independant oil and gas consultant and have a fair
amount of computer experience but, am absolutely lost when it
comes to data bases .... i found a database online (in .php format)
that contains names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers
and email addresses of companies and people within the oil and
gas industry ... i want to be able to utilize this db in excel so i can
sort certain companies or people and use excels "mail merge"
system to send them emails.
i WANT to show my appreciation by paying something for this
service .... and i will.
i have queried the online db for all entries located within the
united states and received over 70,000 entries .... i then copied
and pasted them to microsoft word ... it is now 174 pages
(840KB) .. i have it saved to a file ... i can send a copy of this
WORD attachment....
( Update Note: i have found that my 840KB word document only
contain around 560 entries ... well short of the 70,000 .... i
assume that perhaps the server went down while downloading
..... i did get some messages about not having enough memory. )
Here is what the 1st three entries look like
when copied and pasted from Word;

What i'd like to be able to do;
1.) I would like all info put into excel. I would like
each of the following categories in its own column so
the db can be sorted by one or more of them;

2.) I would like both the email addresses and the
website addresses to remain as active links as they are in the
WORD format as well as the online db.
3.) Please note "Lastname and Firstname" are in the
same category (column) .. I would like to separate them into 2
different categories (columns).
4.) Please note "City, State/Providence Zipcode" are in
the same category (column) .. I would like to separate them into
3 different categories (columns). It would be great to be able to
sort the db with "City", "State", and "Zipcode".
5.) Also, i am enclosing the link to the website that
contains the full db ...( http://eeea.org/subscribe.htm ) in order
to view it or download it, you will need to sign up for a free 5
day trail which gives full access ..... i would really like to have
the entire db which would include all countries other than the
United States or in the alternative, all U.S. entries (70,000 plus)
would be fine.
6.) You will note every entry contains a live link with
the following;
"Map It from MapQuest! Map It from Google!
What's the Weather Like? Phone to Google! Fax to Google!"
These would all need to be globally taken out of the db.
In closing, I want to be able to open up the db in excel,
sort by one or more categories and use excels "mail merge"
feature to send the same email to all those queried.
Please let me know if you might be interested in this project or
require any further information.
Thx,
jerry
