CPC price lookup program

[Stephen McGarry <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like CPC.co.uk in many ways, great range and reasonable prices...
but its finding the best price for a product when
you are searching the website and not looking at a brochure (and is this
brochures price the best?). The fact that you
cant find the best price directly from the website has annoyed me for years
(many years ago you could search with * on
the end!), so I decided to build a simple program to do the looking up for
me.
So if like me you are annoyed by this you can download the program from
<http://roselee.co.uk/CPC_Price_Lookup.zip>.
Put
the .exe anywhere and the database in your 'My documents'.
When you browse to a product page you can press the 'Check Prices' Button
to lookup all the current brochures as listed
in the datagrid on the right. I'm afraid you will need to update the
database manually when new brochures are printed (
watch out some brochures have more than one extension code).

The program is very basic (it's years since I have done windows
programming) and you are welcome to adapt it (and send
me the update!).
