Distance Between Postal Codes - Lateral Thinking?

Developer required to create VB .NET module that accepts two UK postal codes and provides the distance in miles and kilmometres between them. We *do not* have and cannot afford to subscribe to the UK postal code database, therefore we need to utilize either the free postal code directories on the Net as a data source... or incorporate a little lateral thinking. Put forward your suggested solutions! There will need to be a database backend to store postal code info (you can use an Access database so store your data). We will convert this later to SQL Server, so your data code needs to be separate (think of using structure arrays to hold your data, and having a separate routine populate the array). You simply need to create a routine that accepts the two postal codes (in unstructured string format) and returns a structure containing the number in km/miles. Older sample ASP code to do this for US ZIP CODES be found here: [login to view URL] Sample postal code database: [login to view URL] No "disorganized" coders.
