UK Address Database Wanted

[hullstorage]

Hi all,
Does anybody know where i can find a database with all the UK postcodes on it so i can use in Access.

So i enter a postcode and the information is then updated
i.e. street, town and county

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can get them from the Post Office but there is a cost involved.

If you are trying to replicate that fast find service where you enter the house number and post code to retreive the full address, then this is a bolt on you can get from external sites but again there is a cost involved. If you consider there are 30m addresses in the UK you are going to have quite a large mdb.

is this anything related to this news article:

Most other available sources aren't as up-to-date your best bet is the post office if it is important...

the data is copyright post office

PO will send you a sample - note that it is far from easy to use.

addresses are realy complex, in PO terms
