Hello, Kevin:

Use of a hash index should get you the response you need.

Hownever, you have another problem. There is not a one-to-one mapping between ZIP code and FIPS state code. To precisely identify the state, a nine-digit ZIP code may suffice, and you will probably have to use the street address as well. The number of mappings that aren't one-to- one are small, so you may be able to get away with using the 5-digit ZIP code if you choose to ignore them.

Regards,

Gary
