 * Is it possible to create a hidden field that would convert the data in the zip
   code field into a region code based on a file that I would provide. e.g. Zip 
   Code 01007 would convert to SPRINGFIELD – HOLYOKE?

 * It is possible to create a custom format tag for a calculated field which could
   be used to convert the zip code to your DMA code and hold that value in the calculated
   field.
 * It will require some coding skills to get the specific thing you’re looking for,
   but I have an article that shows how it is done:

 * Would you be able to create this for us and if so what would be the cost?
