Ok tech genius. I've got 6,000 names in my computer system. It includes clients, prospects, my do not call list, vendors, internal support, etc..

Now I'd like you to take my list and screen it against 4 different area codes. Then, I'd like you to opt back in the DNC numbers that are exempt, my clients and parent co, delete out the parent companies opt out program.

Please do so for not only me, but 300 others, every quarter, in a cost efficient responsive manner with 100% accuracy.

Please tell me which software program has million number capability? Act doesn't, Access doesn't, Goldmine doesn't, Excell can't......

You need do nothing more than reference the index field. If a certain phone# is present both in your list and the DNC list, do not call it. Else, feel free to call.

Not terribly complicated...

Simple. If they're internal support (i.e. you're both part of the same company), call away. If they're clients or vendors (with an ongoing business relationship that has been confirmed within the past 18 months), call away. If they're "prospects" (i.e. people whose phone numbers you dredged up someplace or other), check the number to see if it's on the DNC list -- if not, call, if so, don't call.

MySQL does. Use ODBC to do an SQL query against the database from Excel or Access. A successful lookup means it is in the DNC list, a failed lookup means it isn't.

However, your inability or unwillingness to solve the problem doesn't mean that the rest of the world should tolerate your intrusion into their lives.

RDBMS - look it up, most any will do.

No problem...just post your phone number and I'll make sure several software vendors call you every day at home for the next 18 months to explain the benefits of their product.

MySQL does and it's free. There's NT and Linux versions.
