Robert For a formula, go to the bottom of http://www.melissadata.com/zd.html and select "download the manual" Go to the exact solution on page 16 of 22. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Carneal" <bookofficeworker@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 8:42 PM Subject: [mso] Excel - Access Inquiry I have a file of towns/cities, counties, states, longitude, latitude, roughly 97,000 records deep. Right now, I have it broken about in half, roughly 48,500 on each sheet over two sheets. I wanted to make this an access application, but I am beginning to wonder if I can. Let's say I pick: Town: Appleton County: Granning State: Texas I have written a little routine that allows me to enter a number, say 75, and it will go through both lists, looking for courthouses within 75 miles of Appleton, Granning, Texas. This means I am using Lat/Long formulas. (For those wanting to know why I do this, it narrows down the courthouses I Will Access give me the ability to do that? And if the answer is yes, can someone please point me to an example of formulas in Access? And please do not let my inquiry start an Access/Excel fight. they are interesting to read, but...<g> Thank you.
