Suzanne I manage to plot UK postcodes every day without problems in a variety of different ways - from SQL Server, dBase and Excel.
So ... start with the obvious :-) Are you using the full ( ie XX99 9XX) postcode? Are the formats (table to be geocoded and search table) compatible? What are you using as a search table? The one I use one contains 95,000 entries for a smallish chunk of SE England. Can you display the search table as a layer without errors?
