I am looking for help creating a postcode distance search. Have a database with postcodes, longditues, latitude etc etc and have tried to create a search.

The problem is that it works with longer postcode such as WV10 but not with shorter postcode such as B1.

Does anybody have any ideas???

Hi Simon

That is where I got all of the original instructions from. I have added a few records of my own and any postcode that begins with a letter then number i.e. B4 does not show any results despite being in the database.
