How do I calculate the distance between 2 postcodes?

[Rhys]

Can anyone help with this?

Well, the formula is

Dist = Sqr((x2 - x1) ^ 2 + (y2 - y1) ^ 2)

for points (x1, y1) to (x2, y2)

Rhys,
So you need the latitude/longitude of your post codes to apply Charlie's
formula.
About 1/2 way down this page

there's a list of about 2800 postcodes.

Google is your friend.

I googled distance between zip codes and got a bunch of links.

Since you used the term "post codes", I think you might be outside the
U.S., so just substitute post for zip and have at it.

Good luck.
