Where can I find a downloadable version of the Standard Industry
Classification codes for the UK from 1992, with updates up to the 2003
updates? The download must be free and must be in either Excel format
or a text format which is easily convertible into databases; pdf and
html formats are not going to work.

Please note this is the SIC 92 with full updates (an indication that
it is fully up-to-date would be useful), and is for the United Kingdom
not the USA, nor Europe's NACE system

A swift response would be appreciated :)

Thanks

I'm afraid I've only managed to find it in pdf
http://www.national-statistics.gov.uk/statbase/Product.asp?vlnk=9769

tehuti, yes that was the only copy I was able to find. I was hoping
maybe one could find a copy at a university or something, though I
couldn't. I know how to turn a pdf into a html file, but can't use
either format. Thanks for trying

There is some software on offer for $38 which converts pdf to text
files. Might this help?  http://www.verypdf.com/pdf2txt/pdf2txt.htm
Nb I have no experience of this software!!!

It wouldn't really solve my problem of needing it in the next few
hours for work... If it comes to it I can spend a few hours
downloading individual HTML pages and integrating them, but if I
decide to do that I will close the question

I'll close the question and do it manually, thanks for your time
