    Resolved zip code formula/algorithm question [Solved]

    Hey all.

    Just curious about this as I've never come across the need.

    Is there any way to calculate distance between different zip codes, mathematically or vb functions?

    Example.

    A listbox containing 6 different zipcodes within a state.

    Is there any decent way to sort the listbox of zip codes based on distance to a zipcode in a textbox the user inputs.

    Nearest zip code at top of listbox and furthest at bottom.

    any code ideas? other than using a 3rd party website functions.
