Introduction and Installation

Address 2000 provides an ActiveX component for use on a web server which will provide all necessary functionality for international address data entry. It provides business and residential format data for over 200 countries. It can provide sufficient information to generate an input form, e.g. on a web page or within a progam. It can then  take the data captured on such a form and combine it into a country independent data form called UAFD (Universal Address Format Data) that can be stored in a database in a single string field. The component can take captured data, or a previously stored UAFD and create an address label correctly formatted for the relevant country

The functionality is exposed using simple to use properties and methods, and examples are provided showing how to use Address 2000 from Visual Basic, Visual J++, and Active Server Pages.

For Internet use, AFD Address 2000 requires Windows NT 4.0 Server (or above) running Internet Information Server v3 or later, or Microsoft Personal Web Server.
