Zona,

Another aspect to consider, with most, (if not all), listings from trade organizations or magazines; they only represent exhibitors or advertisers to their events or publications.

Nothing wrong with that, but they're far from comprehensive.

Zona,

I figured the "secret" out this morning, when I was looking for Catania's contact info for a customer. I still have my '06 directory but I'm trying to force myself to use the new online directory so I can get a "feel" for it.

I'm sure, as time goes by, the buyer's guide search features will be more comprehensive, but I just left everything blank & hit "Search". That gives you the complete listing of all ARA suppliers. Click down to the "R" page & ta-da!

I know it's not perfect yet but I'm making it work for me. Hope that helps a little.

BTW, I'm sure you already found what you needed but here's the info:

David, Unless I'm mistaken (I thought I was mistaken once, but I was wrong) :P , the online buyer's guide will be a list of ARA supplier members just like the previous hard-copy directory was.

Zona,

One other observation, the "search for supplier" by name/state/etc. is still located in the members-only section of www.ara.org.

Here's a "quick" link: http://www.ara.org/member/supplier.cfm

Hope that helps!

Jeanette, I was commenting, in general terms, that the only suppliers that will be listed, from any source, from most any industry, will be those who spend money with the organization, either through ads in publications or through exhibiting/membership fees. As it should be. It's just an answer to a question some may have, as to why not all suppliers are listed. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA
