Default Is it even possible?!? Importing web data..


Assistance greatly needed. I have to enter every U.S. zip code into an
address locater http://www.riccar.com/where-to-buy/vacuums/. (Look ups
vacuum dealers). Currently I have an excel spread sheet with all the
zip codes for one state listed in column A. In column B, I manually
enter the dealer names which the locator search returns. I input the
address in Column C. Can a web query or macro be designed to read the
zip codes in Column A and populate the dealer and addresses in Column B
and C.? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
frustrated in NJ

Sounds like you would have to know how the address in question correlates to
the geographic area that the zip code covers. From your description, I'm not
sure you have that piece of info.

Example: if the address is 255 W 94th St., NY, NY the only way you could
associate it with a zip code is to know which zip code encompasses the
physical location of that building. I know you can enter one address at a
time at usps.gov and have the zip returned.

That sounds like a perfect job for a script writing software that we
use called Foxtrot. Check out Foxtrotone.com
