How to locate cities within x-miles of a given zip code?

[MarkScripter]

I need to add functionality to a program that will allow users to enter a US Zip Code and a mileage number and have to program return all US towns and cities within that range of miles. For example a user would enter the zip code 33770 and select 50 or 100 miles from a drop-down list, then a list of towns & cities will be returned.

Any help appreciated. I normally work with financial applications and don't have any experience with geographical functions and tools.

I found the APIs that I was looking for after some Google searching. For anyone else that is interested, they are available from zipcodedownloads.com.
