Class: ZipCode_DAO in Category Geospatial Mapping : Zip Codes from Total Visual SourceBook

' Example of CZipCode_DAO

' NOTE: The sample table for this form, tblZipCodes, comes the database named Sample.mdb in the directory where you installed sample files.
'       This sample includes a subset of Zip Codes from MD, VA, and DC.
'       FMS, in conjunction with the USPS, offers a monthly subscription to current US zip codes.
'       See http://www.fmsinc.com/MicrosoftAccess/ZipCodeDatabase.html for details.

' To try this example, do the following:
' 1. Import or link to the table named tblZipCodes, from C:\Total Visual SourceBook 2013\Samples\Sample.mdb
' 2. Create a new form
' 3. Add the following controls to the form:
'       Text box named txtCity
'       Text box named txtState
'       Text box named txtZip
'       Command button named cmdGetCityState
'       Command button named cmdValidate
' 4. Paste all the code from this example to the new form's module.
' 5. Run the form
