Hey Jay..I have the 85,000 part numbers already inventoryed over at British
Miles, and they are in Dbase format, can you convert those into something
more useful in an internet enviroment?

Yup you got that, I decided to do this because I can also charge my boss
and include it in my pay hours as inventory work, hehe, just kidding...well
maybe a little ;-). NO Prices that is a bitch...I am dealing with that
right now.

Let me see BL, BMC, are outta business; and all is owned by Rover (and then
BMW)...I don't think they could sue me as long as I state that what part
numbers are from what source. Keeping it updated is not a problem...that
is part of my summer job anyway, so I'll just do it on a regular basis.

Hey Jay you wanna help? Anyway like I said before prices are a pain, as
NOS/new/repro change all of the time, and I won't even begin to think about
used parts. If I could get ALL Major part suppliers to agree on a set
price (like autobytel does with cars) then this system would be great for
shopping.

Everything you mentioned you are going to do...Mr. Systems Engineer!
