Hello Stan,
A couple of points: The "Locate By Address" tool is a little more sophisticated than simply a "front end" to the "GISDK address match" macro. There's a little more going on there, things like letting you pick the "strictness" of matches (much like Reinaldo mentions). We're looking into what would be necessary for you to get better parity between the "Locate by Address" results and those from the macro. Secondly: I'm perplexed by your report that the address- matching macro delivering more records than in your original access table. Of course, this shouldn't be possible; it can't simply "make up" 300 or so records where there were not any before. Where are you getting the record count that you're using as a comparison? I'm presuming you're accessing the Access data via ODBC? Are you using a field as a primary key field? If so, what, and are you sure that the integer values in this field are unique? Are you certain that the "recordID" field you're using when address-matching contains unique integers? Mishandling id fields is one potential cause of odd record counts. If you're convinced that the macro is generating the wrong number of records, I'd like to ask to see your original mdb file, or some variant of it to try and reproduce the problem. --- In [email protected], "Stan Buck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not sure what your point is.
