Can any one tell me if there is a code requirement specifying that
electrical outlets must be placed within X number of feet next of a
doorway ? Thanks for your help.

Yes, there is. The NEC requires that no point on a wall be more than 6 feet
from an outlet, measured along the wall. This means, in effect, that there
must be an outlet within 6 feet of any doorway, and not less than every twelve
feet thereafter. This does not apply to closets, hallways, or staircases, or
to walls less than 24 inches long -- and there are more stringent requirements
for kitchens. Consult the Code for all the gory details if you wish, but
that's the essence of it.
