Has anyone created an application which can act like a dealer locator for documents in a Domino database? I have a database with a couple thousand dealers and would like to allow users to enter their zip code and return the 5 or 10 closest dealers based on distance between the dealer’s zip code and the entered zip code.

2 suggestions:1) You are going to have to sign up with a postcode lookup service, which you will supply both postcodes and it will return the distances, but as most of these services charge per lookup, it could get expensive, unless you purchase a license that allows unlimited lookups, but again, expensive.
- Have you had a look at Google Maps? As long as your application is internet facing (ie not hidden from general public) it is free and extremely easy to set up.
