Looking for a source for data and/or algorithm that would allow me to enter
a zipcode and find - in our case - every car dealership that sells, say,
Chevy's in that zipcode - if not there, then what about adjacent
zipcodes..? - in an ever expanding circle outward, and return a list of
those zipcodes.
In my database, I've already got the car dealers and available makes. What
I need is the zipcode "map" reference. Ideas, sources?

If you've already got the info in the database, then all you need to do is
select from it, based on certain parameters. For example;
strManufacterer = "Ferrari"
strModel = "F50"
strZipCode = "119911"
rst.Open "Select Model From tblCars Where Zip = '" & strZipCode _
& "' and Manufacterer = '" & strManufacterer & "' and model =
'" & _
strModel & "'", DB, adOpenStatic, adLockPessimistic

You will need a zip code -> lat / long database. You can find some free
ones out there, but the quality isn't very good (you get what you pay for).
There is a mathematical formula that will tell you the distance between two
points, given the lat/long of each. So, you take the dealer's zip code,
find the lat and long, then you have a function or procedure that finds all
the zip codes where (formula) < 5 miles.

I'm about to write an article about this, but the solution will use SQL
Server. If you're using SQL Server, and can wait for a bit, you might want
to wait for a bit.

Actually, we are using SQL Server. The links are great, too. Our list is
small enough at this point that listing every dealer on one page is a
perfectly acceptable solution for the next few months, so, yeah, it can
wait. This'll give me something I can take to the next planning meeting and
hopefully buy myself some time.

FYI, "about to" in this specific case means either tonight (time permitting)
or early next week. I had already worked on a similar solution for a
client, and adapting that work slightly will make for a good, workable
example that can be used for similar scenarios.
For future reference, my "about to" has various meanings, given context,
mood, schedule, and level of effort. ;-)
