newby: database question

I'm considering MapPoint for my business.

Does the database come with the zip codes associated with the 
communities/counties/state?

Thanks

thanks Gilles, that was what I needed to know. I will postpone this 
investment for a while longer. I need to get a list of postal codes within 
the counties included in my territory. I'm looking for an easy way to 
compile the list without having to do it manually.

Hmm, not sure what you are after - while MapPoint includes a database, it is
not directly accessible for queries. You can use it indirectly e.g. via a
FindAddress call, but there is no direct way to e.g. get a list of all zip
codes a given state comprises.
