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.

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.

Robert
