- So the first field is Address: Postal Code (so a subfield in the Address field) and the second I'm completely unparticular about. It may be helpful for me to explain why I need it. I have a table of inspection firms and in my industry, they list the areas they cover by listing the first three digits of a zip code. It would be helpful for me to be able to create a report link to my main table listing the available repair firms based on the zip code entered. In the second table (the inspection firms) the zip codes are listed like this 122, 123, 124 all in one field labeled zip codes covered. There are several hundred so changing this is really out of the question.
I tried to do this just using the Postal Code to Zip codes covered and unchecking the must match exactly but it isn't working. I get zero results. I hope I'm explaining this well...

------------------------------- It is a text field. I would guess it should be text in order to get the report link to be able to match them?
