The Zip Codes Form is pre-populated with over 35,000 United States Zip Codes.
Postal Codes for Canada (and most any other international codes), as well as any U.S. Zip Codes that were not included in the initial set, may be defined as needed.
When the UseZips option is set to True ("T") in the Company Settings Form accessible from within the Company tab on the User Options Form:
The Zip field in the Subscribers, Prospects, and Vendors Forms will have a Drop-Down Selection List
In these Zip fields, when the Zip Code (Postal Code) is Selected (and/or entered) for that record's location, the associated City and State (Province) information will be automatically inserted in those fields.
If that Zip Code (Postal Code) is not defined, the User may enter it at that time.

 

Entering Zip Codes data:
On the Main Menu Select Maintenance and Choose Zip Codes.
