3881.1Digital Business AgreementMROA::ODELLWed May 17 1995 13:1013
    I believe DBA stands for Digial Business Agreement.  These agreements
    are commonly used in lieu of a standard field test agreement.  I believe
    the information can be found by accessing VTX DIET, though I'm not
    totally sure.  
    
    If that doesn't work, you might want to contact a Field Test person
    in your area.  If you don't have or know of a FT person, I suggest
    you contact Rob Barwise at LKG (DELNI::BARWISE).  I know he has 
    experience with DBA's.

    gee, I thought that a DBA # is what's necessary for a customer to buy
    something, although I'm sure they have to sign an agreement outlining
    our T's and C's to get it.  I believe that U.S. Sales can help you,
    try Cheryl Morin DTN 297-2601.

re: .0

Either there are multiple meanings of 'DBA' within Digital or someone is
confused.  As .1 said, DBA stands for "Digital Business Agreement".  It is an
agreement between Digital and a business partner.  As such, Digital doesn't
have a DBA with itself.

3881.4"Doing Business As" redtape form?WRKSYS::RICHARDSONWed May 17 1995 13:409
    Gee, my first thought was "Doing Business As", a $5 piece of redtape we
    had to file with the town to "register" our hobby business a few years
    ago - every once in a while the town sends us some more redtape, mostly
    to find out if the hobby business "owns" anything that the town can
    levy taxes on.  I have no idea if big corporations have to file these
    things, too - nor do I know offhand where the original copy of ours is
    if anyone ever needs to know its registration number.

3881.5Digital Business AgreementPOBOX::SETLOCKWed May 17 1995 14:1213
    A DBA is a Digital Business Agreement.  Digital has DBA's with our
    Customers. The DBA contains terms and conditions and provides a
    discount level dependent upon the $$$ volume the Customer spends with
    us.  The DBA is numbered and the number is associated with a particular
    Customer.  Digital does not have a DBA with Digital, so there is no
    Digital DBA number.  DBA's are all kept back East now and Rita Casey,
    DTN 297-2605 is one of the contacts.
    
    Is it possible you're looking for a Federal ID number???
    
    Hope this helps.

3881.6And there there was....MSDOA::SCRIVENWed May 17 1995 14:206
    Then there's the BOA, which is an agreement between Digital and a
    particular Vendor.  If we had more info about what you need it for, we
    might be more helpful...

3881.7DBA - Database Administrator :)ANGLIN::FIGGWed May 17 1995 23:354
    And I thought you were looking for a Database Administrator (DBA)...
    Funny how 1 little string of letters can mean so many different things.
    
    See Ya!
3881.8Dunn and BradstreetMR2MI1::BMORRISONThu May 18 1995 10:439
    OK everyone, here is another thought.
    
    Dunn and Bradstreet is sometimes known as D&B. Many companies
    require a D&B in order to get credit information. Most corporations
    have a D&B number. It can be found in the DEC (sorry Digital)
    Library or any other library in the country.
    
    Sorry, I don't know the number off the top of my head.
