I have no interest in the zip codes themselves, only in their ability to
group customers by State.  Some States require a percentage of sales in
their state to total sales for tax assessing purposes.  I am hoping to
avoid
populating a zipcode file whose only purpose would be to name the state.

I started some work in this area over a year ago for my client, but we

didn't get real far. However, I do know that CD is available for a fairly

nominal charge from USPS, depending on number of states iirc, with periodic

updates (monthly or quarterly). The CD contained detailed info on valid

addresses down to street level. I did a query on zips/states, but don't

recall the results.



Also seen, but don't recall, what the license specifics were, as far as a

TAA Tool would go. (Tool would be useful, but probably could NOT include

the info on CD unless USPS was paid on per copy basis, and/or customers

already had CD.)
