Hi Dyan
I hope you have money riding on this one! There is no function built into
Mapinfo that will look for a specific zip code. If you have a zip code table
open you can query it and then, in a mapper window, select Query | Find
Selection to center the map on the zip code that was found (provide one
_was_ found). You could certainly write such a functon using Mapbasic, but
there is nothing "built in" that works like this specificially for zip
codes.
Regards,
James
