I want to ask a client for addresses of employees by zipcode, not revealing home addresses.  Ideally, Id collect the data by asking the client for an XL file with a single field:  zipcodes for each person, which I assume they'd generate from a more complete person by person list, deleting columns that ID their employees' personal data, leaving only the zipcode column.  Then I want to plot each employee with dots on a map by their zipcodes, with multiple dots in a single zipcode if more than one employee lives there.  I cant figure out how to use zipcodes as data points.  The final product would be simple, just a plain map with lots of dots.  Can someone help?  Thanks.

Use www.arcgis.com/explorer and import your CSV with zip codes...

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/help/#/Import_CSV_data/01560000004t000000/

There is a 250 record limit when geocoding locations.

Thanks,

Mike
