Hi,

Im curious in knowing if a table already exists somewhere out there that has
data of all countries, states and cities allready installed into it, or is it
one of those things that people dont like to share?

Its for an address book arrangment, locating zip codes, locating cities and
states based on country.. Im sure there are better options than me starting
from scratch

If you want the Australian data, you can download it from
www.australiapost.com.au

I suppose other national postal authorities would have similar?

Hope this helps.

There are some 6.4 billion people living in the world. There are
probably several tens of millions of inhabited places. Will your name
and address database really need to know the postcodes of isolated
towns in South India and post offices in western Siberia?

If possible John, yes..

i work for a company that deals with world wide clients and it would be nice
to have all their data, but i guess from a reasonable point of view i dont
really need the third world countries as they would be least interested in
our product.
