We subscribe to an internet database search service called Nexis, which allows us to perform biographical searches on individuals, executives or companies. The search engine will generate a comprehensive report on the aforementioned from numerous sources, including such things as address, phone #s, real estate owned, employment, companies owned, relatives and business associates, professional licenses and certifications, email addresses, cell phone subscriptions, criminal records, etc. In order to perform a search, you must manually enter a person or company's name, address, position/level, etc. This can be very tedious if you have to perform it for a large list of companies or people. Is there a way to automate this process so that my computer automatically and repeatedly enters the required information from a given list of names (copies and pastes the required information into the user interface, hits the "search" button and then the "print" button? Thanks.
