I am creating an Excel spreadsheet/database of USA magazines with classified ads sections. I want to turn this? into a **small Windows 7/Vista/XP-compatible executable file program**. This is the project.
?
I plan to sell this software through the Clickbank affiliate network as a CB merchant or publisher, and allow CB members to sell it for me affiliates.
I want a simple program that allows users to search the database based on keywords. The spreadsheet will have columns for magazine name and category (i.e., automotive, gardening, fitness, beauty, travel, etc.),? both of which should be searchable.
I want the? search results? displayed in the program. If a magazine entry, for instance, has 10 columns of data (i.e., magazine name, category, address, phone, e-mail, classified rates, etc.), then I want all that information pulled into the search results.
?
If any of the data includes http or mailto links, I want those links to be live and, when clicked, open the IE browser or customer's default email program, respectively.
Perhaps the program can be configured with a drop-down menu of magazine categories and searches can be done after a category is chosen. And then maybe there could be a universal search option.
The database is still being compiled but should be done in the next week or so. I expect there to be 200-250 magazine entries.

**Optionally, I would like a function that allows customers to, once they found magazines they would like to buy classified ads in, create/write their ads and then print them out. So I'm just looking for a small form with fields for an ad headline and two or three lines for ad text. When characters are entered on each line, the program provides a running character and word count. This will be helpful to customers when writing their ads and determining how much they will cost (costs are usually based on word counts with a minimum count of 12 words, for example). Perhaps below the form could be some text (which I would write and provide): Top 10 Tips to Writing Successful Classified Ads.**
**As a second option, if this would be fairly easy to do, I would be interested in a function that would allow the customer to type in from one to five keywords or key phrases and have the program search Google's keywords tool/database or another online keywords database and return the top five or top 10 searched related keywords/key phrases. This would allow customers to place some of these highly searched keywords into their classified ads to increase interest levels and sales conversions. Maybe this could be a premium or Pro optional function that is unlocked or available only to those who pay an extra charge.**
