David, I would recommend you check out the US Census, the USGS, and the USPS. All of those organizations have to deal with county-level information on a daily basis. If anyone has publicly available data (which would include the county codes you seek), they would.
You should be able to get to each of their respective sites if you first visit the US Government's portal site at http://www.firstgov.gov. Yours, Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine David Blomstrom <david_blomstrom@ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] yahoo.com> cc: Fax to: 06/02/2004 10:21 Subject: Codes for U.S. Counties PM I have a big database focusing on U.S. counties. I'd like to assign each county a code for use as a key. I'm thinking of simply using the state postal code, followed by numerals. For example, Arizona's counties would be arranged alphabetically, beginning with az1, az2, az3, etc. I just wondered if anyone on this list has worked with counties in databases and is aware of a pre-existing code system that's in fairly wide use. It would be nice to make a database that's compatible with other databases, if they share a common code for counties. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
