Display map on form in web control based on zip code 1

[Cornerstone]

Hi,

I would like to be able to view a record on a form with a zip code and in a web control have it display the zipcode area in a map. I am guessing there is a way to do this with some kind of link to google maps, mapquest or other service by including the zip from the control in the link. Any ideas would be appreciated.

This will work with MapQuest:

& Me.txtZip '06390[/tt]

Neat! That works for Canadian postal codes as well (just found my city using it)!

Thanks, JoeAtWork. I did a little research on MapQuest because I wanted maps for some quite obscure locations. This:

Will also work, and is quite easy to edit, as you can see.
