Hi Stephen and Peter,
I spent about two weeks trying to get access to Compact Disclosure a few
years ago, including talking extensively to the Thomson people, etc. and I
think it's a dead end. If you're interested in historical data, your best
bet is to find out if your library or someone else's still has the old CDs
(ours does), but there is no current product. I'm not sure what data you're
looking for, but I find Compustat to be a good substitute for just about
everything that was on Compact Disclosure except for founding years. I have
not found a good source for founding years. Bioscan and Corptech have some,
but their samples are constrained. Good luck!

Dear Stephen,
My understanding is that Compact Disclosure was acquired several times over
the last few years and ended up owned by Thomson, which no longer supports
it. I would suggest contacting your Thomson rep (don't just call a 800
number - that has never been a very productive route for me).

Colleagues,
I am interested in acquiring Compact Disclosure for use at my
institution. However, I am having trouble locating the product's
supplier, and I suspect it may no longer be available in the form I used
it while in graduate school. I know that Disclosure data are available
in LexisNexis Academic but not with the interface available in Compact
Disclosure.
Can anyone direct me to the current provider, if any, of Compact
Disclosure?
Many thanks,
Steve
