If you want both the 30 miles outside buffer and the county of fresno
you should use:
- TURN ON EDITABILITY AND SELECTABILITY OF: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- QUERY
- SELECT ALL FROM: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- OBJECTS
- SET TARGET: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- OBJECTS
- LAYER CONTROL
- TURN OFF EDITABILITY AND SELECTABILITY OF: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- QUERY
- SELECT ALL FROM: Frenso (layer)
- OBJECTS
- COMBINE
- SAVE COPY AS: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- NEW LAYER
- NAME IT: Fresno_buffer_comp.tab
Then use the boundary select tool to select all the zip code point
objects within the new polygon (30_mile_buffer and frenso composite
polygon) "Fresno_buffer_comp.tab to get all your zip codes within a 30
mile buffer and within the county of frenso.

Good luck,
