I specifically want to purchase these lists.  The data must be owned
by me, and I must be able to import the information into a database
with out restriction.  I've looked at Hoover's, D&B, InfoUSA,
Whosesale Lists, etc.  They all appear to be one time only, or rented,
leased, whatever for a period of time.  That is not what I want.

Hello Lister--

Could you please be more specific about what you are asking? What type
of business list are you seeking? Are you wanting a researcher to find
where you can purchase such lists?

Thanks,

darrel-ga

I want the researcher to identify one or more resources for purchasing these lists.

At a minimum the lists would contain:

Company Name
Company Address
Company Telephone Number

in a format to allowing importing of the information into a data.

I want control over the data from the date of purchase forward.

I'm glad to hear that the link I provided led you to the information you needed. 

Is there still outstanding information that you need to have answered?

If not, I will post my original information as an answer to your
question.  Let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns about
that.

Thanks.

There is still some degree of uncertainty regarding restrictions on
the data. We won't be able to determine that until we receive the CD
and review licensing.

However, we sincerely appreciate your research and consider our
question answered at this point.

Please go ahead and post your response as the answer to our question. 
You should probably include the link in my response to you, rather
than your original link.

Thanks again for your prompt response.

Hello lister1-ga,

Thanks for your latest clarification, and for the opportunity to
answer your question.

I've provided, below, both of the links pertaining to your original
question, as they both seem to offer similar content to meet your
needs.  I'm sure that after you review the products more closely,
you'll be in the best position to determine which one is closest to
the mark.

The products are:

THE YELLOW PAGES USA DELUXE CD ROM

http://www.directorystore.com/product/productdetail.jsp?item_number=0ABI030001&type=cd

and


AMERICAN BUSINESS LISTINGS (CD)

http://www.directorystore.com/product/productdetail.jsp?item_number=AMBLST0001&type=CD

==========

I hope these do the trick.  Please let me know if you need any
additional information about either (or both) of the above.
