The simplest way i can see to do this is to use ASP.NET VB and set your Zip code field to post back to the server. You'd then create a a dataset upon postback inserting the Zip code the user has submitted into the SQL statement, something along the lines of "SELECT * FROM mydatabasetable WHERE myzipcode = " & TxtZip.text . The other fields are then populated by the results of this query eg within the Sub Page_Load event write the results into the textboxes like 'TxtCity.text = MyDataset.FieldValue("City", Container)'

If you are unsure of how auto postback works in asp.net, i've included an example below, copy this code below into a page and call it tester.aspx, put in in your wwwroot folder and call it as http://localhost/tester.aspx - Make sure you have the .net framework installed on your server though or it wont work!
