    Auto enter city and state when zipcode entered

    ZipLookup.zip

    A common shortfall with many examples of handling this effort have to do with zipcodes that cover multiple cities. This example will let you easily define any number of cities residing in the same zipcode.
    Here's what happens when you type a zipcode that's not in the DB:

    If the above popup doesn't list the desired city for that zipcode, you use the ZipCode Maint button to add it.

    This is absolutely amazing and exactly what I need to do. Can you tell me why you added a special ZipId field that combines the autonumber and the zip code instead of just using the autonumber.

    Could have done that, I suppose. I coded this about 20 years ago, so my reasoning for the design is foggy.
