On my iPhone, so I'll keep it breif.
I do have a solution that gives the "as the crow flies" distance, and unfortunately my particular need will not tolerate the inaccuracy, though I know nothing out there is perfect. I think your right in saying that the latest apis should have somthing that will do this with a degree of ease. Thank you for yor post. :). It's good to know that I am not the only one that is having trouble finding a good soltion for driving distance. I thought I was loosing my edge.
Still hopeful!!! Is there anyone out there that has a code snippet yeilding driving distance via JavaScript for the google, bing, or mapquest APIs?

You might want to ask a moderator to put this into the JavaScript Zone. Also, don't forget the Yahoo APIs

You're right. I must have clicked the wrong zone when I set this up.
I did find the solution though.
