I just used mapquest.com to get any zip codes I would like to calculate the
long/lat for. You can get all that info there. Also below is your mystical
formula ;)
CFSET City1="Los Angeles"
CFSET City2="New York City"
CFSET State1="California"
CFSET State2="New York"
CFSET Latitude1="34.0522"
Hi Scott,
Check out http://www.dbactive.com for some zipcode calc tools for CF,
including radius search and distance betweem two zips.
Regards,
Jeff
