I geocode to polygons all the time. I get dumps from a parks database and have to 
geocode that information to park polygons. You must have the field you want to geocode 
to indexed then just geocode the field in the tabular data to the corresponding field 
in your spatial data.

I'd never really tried it, and it must be relevant for attaching data to zip 
boundaries but...

I'm in need of a simple routine that can geocode to a polygon.  I appreciate that I 
can generate a centriod with the ID of a polygon, geocode to it, then load the polygon 
data back into the intended polygon.  But, this process is slow and labour intensive.  

Also, I should state, I have a perfect 1 to 1 corellation of records, ie there are no 
mulitple geocodeable objects within each polygon.  I realize I could use joins to do 
this as well, but I would like to the process to operate as Geocoding does, ie it 
should produce polygons only where there are matches.

Thanks,

Colin Anderson
