>I'm working on a program where a user wants to enter a town into the system and receive a listing of records based upon 20 miles or so (user configurable) radius of that zip code. I assume(?) there is a logical layout to zip codes to make this possible as I see it on websites all the time. Has anyone worked out a procedure or resources to accomplish this?

I used this one: http://www.simplyzipcodes.com/ It's only $10 and comes with various formats and radius formula code. There are others, as you've been told, but I like this one for the price. I haven't checked any recently. Maybe some of the free ones are more dependable now, I don't know.
