Yes, that's something I may have to consider, the problem being in
this instance is that they aren't providing them one at a time - they
simply paste in a list of up to 100 postcodes along with the details
in csv format in a textarea. These details are then stored for later
on in the process and the requirement is that they are in a future
stage presented with all of these details later on in a map. It may be
that we have to introduce another stage that goes through thr list one
at a time and updates the table with the geocoded results so that we
can use them in the map stage. I guess this is viable, but it just
seems like a long-winded way around what I thought was going to be
simple.

Thank you,
Mark
