Thanks for your response.

I agree with you that cut-n-pasting JUST a URL (http://www.whatever.com/) would be simple. However, I also need the Title, Description and Keywords which entails View Source and three different cut-n-paste operations.

It takes forever and is very hand, wrist repetivive motion intensive. You can't just drag and drop from the View Source File. You have to highlight the text withing each meta tag before you drag or paste it.

Moreover, I have a "spyder" program that goes out and gets me 100's of links at a time and puts them into a flat database in exactly the order of my database. I use Excel to sort, renumber, and fill in categories. Then I save it to flat *.db file.

Not really sure what you mean about "keeping all the fields" lined up. The Spyder program and Excel do that just fine - never an issue.

In any event -- different strokes for different folks. No sense trying to convince each other what's easiest. :)

Anybody able to answer the question about MySQLMan?

Best regards, April
