Awesome.. I had seen this one but didn't know it was for free as I thought the process of registration might have involved buying that application ID.. Now I'll need to ask the server guys the possibility of opening the Internet port on the AR Server :-)

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.
