[AccessD] Determine Mileage Between 2 Zip Codes

Scott,

In DC there are no zip codes that are very large so using it as an
approximation is an acceptable method and was specified by the contract, I
just need to know if there's an automated way to do it.  If I can get access
to a system that uses the full address then that would be even better, but
it doesn't need to be that percise.

Chris,

Where I live, a zipcode can cover more than a 7 mile radius. I live in the
Greater Cincinnati area. By no means would you call where I live sparse in
population. How would you determine the difference between a zip code any
way?
It would have to be by address. Maybe you could automate "MapQuest" to get
the
distance between the office and client.

Does anyone know of any code or software that I can use to try and get
mileage between 2 zip codes?  The situation is this, in an insurance
database there is a contractual obligation for my client to report on the
number of members of the plan who live within 7 miles of one of the
providers of the plan.  There are about 250 providers in the Washington DC
area and approximately 15,000 members so the more automation I can get in
this the better.

Thanks,
