I probably need this as a one time query while importing site information. I was hoping to create a Filter to fire on MERGE to set the Zip Code field using the Set Fields operation from any such web-service.. I would prefer setting the Zip Code from the Address, City and State information I have rather than setting it from the data file as I have reasons to doubt the quality of the data that I have received as I see several addresses that have two completely different zip codes for the same address.. and they are off by not a single digit or something - way way off.. Probably a result of modifications done through Excel after the use of a bad bad filter.. The list of sites I have is only about 600, which does not really justify me asking for buying a web service for one time use, yet I do not see myself looking up each address and correcting it manually.. I just did a google search for the above but I cannot say I found anything useful.
