 Does anyone know how I can set something up that tells the distance
between
 one Zip Code and another? I'm needing to be able to set something up where
 one user's record is compared to another and a distance is measured. Any
 have any ideas?

This seems to be a common question.

You can buy this:
http://www.zipwise.com/ - @ $130 its a total deal. I went thru the same
hassle to get the data from the post office/census data and it took me over
a week to get everything. You have to spend endless amounts of time
searching the web. Its a pain. I'd give out mine, but the company that
contracted me to do it owns the rights to the work I did for them. Sorry.

Zipwise has the database and algorithms, or you can also check this out this
post I made when I was doing my research.
