Jennifer, after using the Disperse tool, create a new column for a new zip.
Table-Update column using your employee table and a zip code file, click on
the join and check the circle where object from zip file CONTAINS object
from employee file. Then do a query on the new zip column and the employee
zip to find records that are not the same--i.e. this finds records that were
dispersed outside of their original zip codes.
