I need to store zipcode and need to make validation

I need to store zipcode and need to check whether zipcode entered by user is valid or not. How can i achevie it ?

Hi,

As per my understanding, you want to store ZIP code in the custom setting and then cross check if entered ZIP code exists in the database or not.

If above is correct then we can create a before insert trigger which will cross check zip code with zip code in cutom setting and then display error , if it will not match.

Please let me know , if this help you.

Hi Bhanu ,
I'm not sure if it is possible using formula field or validation rule . Based on certain validation  criteria check a checkbox like isDataField.
What i can suggest you is use worflow onupdate
when the criteria is not met ,update the checkbox isDataField as false. Now you will save the record, also you would know if the record is valid or not.
Thanks and Regards,
Shiva RV
