This database comes loaded with nearly 50,000 zipcodes and generally there is little need to enter them into this database directly.
However, to create a new record click on the New button and complete all fields in the dialog. The State fills in based on the Licensee's State.
If the Zip code already exists you get the dialog below.
Adding Zip codes from within other databases
Because of the relational nature of FileMaker, as you enter addresses and new Zip codes into the software, new entries in this database are created. If after entering a Zip Code, no City and State appears in the current record your are entering (in Patients, PhoneBook, Insurances), just enter the new city and select the state from the pop-up list of approved state abbreviations. Once you do this, this new ZipCode-City-State combination will be saved for future reference, automatically and without fuss!
Printing a list of Zipcodes
You should really never have to print out a list of zipcodes. However, to print a list click the List button to get the dialog below. You can print either a partial (Found set after you have completed a search) or complete list (All) of zip codes in the database. If you select ALL the list will be very, very, very long!
Complete the print dialogs that follow and make sure paper is in the printer!
