Re: Dealer List

Kev -

I was thinking at a minimum - dealername, city, and state.

However, some of the entries on Dave's sample page DO show a street address. It would be nice to include an address field, yet simply left blank when that info is not available). However, I would ask that we include a corresponding field to show the year of the source list.

That way, if we import material from other later lists, with this publication year, perhaps we could have multiple entries for a given dealer, one for each unique address. Ultimately, that might paint a picture showing dealer relocation, if any.

I agree that AFTER we get the basic shell up, we can THEN integrate the existing supplemental data and allow others to add to it. I also like the notion of providing some interrelationship with other databases, like the Owner Reg.

The next question, then, is how many other lists we might have access to.
