Someone needs to smack Robert. He's off on a tangent again. ;-P On 6/13/07, Robert Cummings <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Your wish shall be answered. You can prevent dangling prepositions, such as the one above, by rearranging your sentence a little. "I am doing some searching and researching but I also know that this world famous group may have some insight and resources that I can benefit from." Would become: "I am doing some searching and researching but I also know that this world famous group may have some insight and resources that from which I can benefit."
If you want to be technical, Cummings.... "I have been searching and researching, but I am aware that this world-famous group may be able to offer some insight and resources from which I may benefit."

As to your actual question... no idea :)
Honestly, me either. I've built ZIP-code-to-longitude/latitude points, but nothing with address suggestion. Jay, are you also looking for the PLUS+4 ZIP code information? Is it possible that the USPS (if you're looking for US addresses) has a free or low-cost API?
