With the map of zip codes open, try Query > find (cntl F). Set the settings
as per the manual, and it should work the way you envisage.

* Hi Dyan
*
* I hope you have money riding on this one! There is no function built into
* Mapinfo that will look for a specific zip code. If you have a zip
* code table
* open you can query it and then, in a mapper window, select Query | Find
* Selection to center the map on the zip code that was found (provide one
* _was_ found). You could certainly write such a functon using Mapbasic, but
* there is nothing "built in" that works like this specificially for zip
* codes.
*
* Regards,
