Zip code map of a county

[stann]

Hi

I have a map of a county in NY. I want to find a way to "light up" the zip codes when participants to my seminar show up and produce an illustrated map of the locations of the group. I think this is possible but am not sure how to do it. I can use a wingding font to get a small colored circle. It the zip code exists in the registrants then it would signal the file to put a little colored circle in that field. My real question is.

I will have the participants to the seminar register so it will produce a list of zip codes.

Iet us just say I have the following zip codes 13421 Oneida 13032 Canastota 13035 Cazenovia. 13214

But.... if 5 people come from Canastota I still only need one instance of it on my map.

How do I solve this. I just want a list of all the zipcodes in attendance but no duplicates. Then I can flag each field that is a zip code and have filemaker insert a digbat that will indicate that city. But how does one get the list of zip codes with one no duplicates

Thanks

Hey,

Here's a file that Lee pointed out in the last few days. I think it will get you moving in the right direction. Scroll down to the US State Buttons download near the bottom of the page. It will mean cutting your map up into multiple images, one for each zip code. Tedious, but it can be done.
