All,
Many thanks to all for excellent suggestions, especially Rand
McNally (always my immediate and first choice in these type of
questions) and the AFF). In my client's situation, however, neither
would work as he had no idea what zip codes "fit" into St. Louis MSA.
We had to find a way to identify them first and the Geographic
Correspondence Engine allowed me to do just that by converting one
geography into another and generated a correlation list (i.e. MSA into
zips, etc).
