Wannawin,
It is my own database that I have compiled. Most of the information is downloaded automatically from the web (the 3 TAB sites + a couple of others) each day by a program I wrote but I also enter manual comments, etc. For the technically minded the database is in Access 97 (but is getting to big at nearly 400MB so will soon be moved to SQL server) and the data retrieval is done with a Visual Basic program that downloads the web pages then extracts the data and stores it in the database.
Topsy99 - don't know about being struck by lightning but it sounds like you found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Maybe you caught one of Paddy's leprechauns! Best of luck for next week.
