Actually, it turns out that street geocoding doesn't require that the street data be in view format. That's juat a device to save disk space. You do have to have the fields named FromLeft, ToLeft, etc. and possibly the field that contains the street name should be called "Street". The street field MUST be indexed, and for geocoding to work your address street names must match the spelling in the TIGER file. It's case-insensitive, but if the street is named 'N Main St' in the TIGER file, then your address table will have to also use 'N Main St' as in '1101 N Main St' and not just '1101 Main St' or '1101 North Main Street'. _______________________________________________ MapInfo-L mailing list [email protected] http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
