I have many home addresses on my website.  I need to set up a form for my
users to type in a zipcode to search for just the addresses in that area.

You'll need to know what scripting language and database your host
supports...like PHP & MySql or ASP, ASP.net and SQL or Access. From there
you'll need to build the database and connection and use the script language
to search and display the results on a page.

This may be a tad beyond the scope of Publisher designed websites though -
not sure as I've never attempted it with Publisher.

You "may" get somewhere with using Google's local search engine though...(?)

Rob,

Actually, the OP could use a program like Zoom Search that creates its
own index. It does not rely on php, asp or such. It is also free without
any banners or ads.
