There are several websites giving you a formula for finding distance using latitude and longitude. google for it.

scratch my previous comments about zipcode. For zipcodes, all you will have to do is, get the corresponding longitude and longitude and work of that one.

Hope this helps. It is not complicated.

For distance between longitude and latitude you can do some calculation. check this link.

for distance using zipcode…this is like a big matrix if you ask and you will have to buy third party data for this. (Atleast this is my belief) or use some kind of API to call Google maps..not sure.

Hi Lakshmi,
Thanks for your compliments. But please note that participation from people like you is highly needed to share knowledge and learn more.
So I urge all the visitors to write articles on Siebel and send it to me. I will post those over here by crediting your name on it. This way learning becomes easy.

Thanks,
Sridhar
