The Edge uses ZIP Codes in the USA and Postal Codes in Canada. The ZIP/Postal Codes function offers a way to update the ZIP/Postal Code database automatically at your convenience.
To update ZIP/Postal Codes:
1. First, download the zip code file from http://www.edgeuser.com. It can be found under Downloads ► DataDownloads. Use the Save As option when prompted by Windows. Be sure to make a note of where you save the file.
2. Select Administrative ► ZIP/Postal Codes ► Import File. You will be prompted to provide a file to import.
3. Locate the file saved in step 1 and select Open. The Import Status will appear.
4. When the download is complete, a confirmation dialog will appear.

There are significantly more postal codes in Canada than ZIPS in the USA (855,000 vs 43,000). For this reason the Canadian Postal Code import will take a long time to complete, particularly if you are running an Access database. Consider performing this import procedure overnight. |
To delete the ZIP/Postal Code file:
1. Select Administrative ► ZIP/Postal Codes ► Delete All.

Selecting OK will cause the ZIP/Postal Code file to be deleted without further confirmation. |
2. To proceed, complete the Need Override fields and select OK. The ZIP Code file will be deleted.
