Hi, Marcia, and thanks for the reply.

True. OTOH, all of the data (such as long/lat, Zip, and road length)
should be free and somewhere on the net. It might be a combination
of data from the USGS, USPS, and the DOT, but the data is out
there somewhere. Maybe some government GIS site has the info.(Shrug.)
I was just hoping that somebody already beat me to the punch and rolled
their own database, combining all the data into one VFP DBC or whatnot.

Truthfully, it's not all that important that we have this
capability in our application. OTOH, it sure would make
things a bit easier in logistics tracking, and the end
users would really appreciate it, Marcia. Makes their life
a bit easier and all.
