Can anyone recommend searchable databases of HPLC methods. The more comprehensive the better.
If they have a fee to use, what is that fee?
oh...and I'm interested in pharmaceutical products. kthxomgwtfbbq!1!11!!!1!

Most column suppliers have large databases that can give you an indication of solvent compositions useful for a compound and related structures. This is not the same as a developed application, but it may give you some ideas.
Here is one example:

The best database that I know is on this link
http://www.chromdb.com/
It has several thousand methods and they are searchable by compound structure (it has Chemdraw built in). The best part it is free, it has no bias toward particular column manufacturer, and does not require even registration.

I cannot open "Access the ACD/Public Chromatography Applications Database" from
www.chromdb.com using Mozilla Firefox...

I just tried it. My browser gave all kinds of warnings that acd wants to install controls and applets without valid certificates of authenticity. Maybe when the vendor cleans up their act I will try it for real.

Mark, I agree that it's disconcerting, but ACD's been around long enough and is a reputable enough company that I wouldn't worry too much (paying the tithe to get certificates, particularly for new/free/beta software can be a pain).
If you're paranoid about it (which, come to think of it, I am!) you can set a restore point, go ahead and let all the applets install, then roll back to your restore point when you're done (only works in Windows XP).

Excellent advice Tom. Wish I could take it. My company PC has Windows 2000.
Furthermore, I trust your endorsement of ACD's reputation more than I do Thawte's. They sell those certificates to anyone with money.

Ah... such a bad news, I've already uninstalled it.

W2K is my problem? I've let the applets install, but I continue to get exceptions (grey boxes where plots etc. should be). I thought it was a firewall issue.

First of all, I'm not sure you
can uninstall IE completely (at least on Win 2K or XP); "uninstalling" simply hides access. Second, it's easy to "reinstall". I use Mozilla Firefox as my primary browser, but find that there are just enough sites with IE-specific code that it's useful to have IE available. In fact, there is an extension available for Firefox that adds "view this page in IE" to the right-click menu.
Database Problems

I installed it on a Windows 2000 system with IE 6.0 with no problems so I doubt its a windows 2000 problem.
