I have a database with addresses and want to be able to tell access to
determine driving distance between my office address versus each employee
address zip code. Is it possible to have access utilize the internet to
perform this search?
 
I don't know if this newsgroup will let me attach, but here is a database
(OK, it didn't let me, but if you're interested, send me your e-mail)

with all of the zipcodes and the distances from 01923.
If you add this table to your database and as an equation you could do an
equation equal to the Absolute(Distance(A) - Distance(B))
If you ever needed to add a Zipcode, you could always Mapquest it from 01923
and add it to the database.

As far as interacting from the web, I'm not sure what's available out there,
but this seems to work for us.
