"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,
