I would be happy to hear from others on this. I see this is dated from 2008. Some of the code doesn't work and it requires one to pay for one of the services. So, if I have a database with a table of all the zip codes. I have store location with the zip codes. What is the best way to have a form, where an end user enters their zip code and it pulls up a 30 mile radius, of stores in that 30 mile radius.

Hi there, this is a request for code snippet. I was looking to find the best way to create a zip code locator? As we have all seen as a store locator. For example, like http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat12090&type=page. I don't need to search by the address, just the zip code. I have a number of stores, where I have the latitude and longitude. In my application, when I add a store, it inputs the lat and long in the database. Now, my challenge, is for a user to enters their zip code, it would show all the stores in a 50 mile radius. Or whatever radius I decide on. This is where I ask your feedback. I can buy a database with all the zip codes in the US. ( just USA), and do some sort of calculation based on the lat and long. OR Use an API. Perhaps Google. I would lean towards this one. I don't need the map to show up. I would start with a very basic list of the stores. Just like the Best Buy example, I only want to return the list of stores. Which way???? Thanks Kip

Thank you everyone. So, the answer is no, there is not a way. As I mentioned, I know I put an image or a link, but that all requires a user to click on something. I was hoping to call a header. At least I know the answer is no. Thanks

HI everyone, I am sure this has got to be common question. Is there a way to tell if an email recipient opened an email I sent? Here is the scenario. In an application where the application sends email campaigns. So, if I send out an email to 100 people, I want to keep track of how many of them actually opened the email. I do not want to rely on a reader clicking a link, or downloading image to determine if the "read" the email, as one can still read an email without doing those things. Is there a more reliable way? Thanks Kipper
