I am a casual/ infrequent user of ArcMap 9.2 and usually work with existing data and features. I have a need to create a point feature set, 82 libraries in 3 cities. With the hope of making a .shp file out of this.
For my street paths data I will be using US Census Tiger 2008, edges shp files, containing the fields: FID, STATEFP, COUNTYFP, TLID, TFIDL, TFIDR, MTFCC, FULLNAME, SMID, LFROMADD, LTOADD, RFROMADD, RTOADD, ZIPL, ZIPR, FEATCAT, HYDROFLG, RAILFLG, ROADFLG, OLFFLG, PASSFLG, DIVROAD, EXTTYP, TTYP, DECKEDROAD, ARTPATH, PERSIST, GCSEFLG, OFFSETL, OFFSETR, TNIDF, TNIDT, CLASS, HWY_TYPE, HWY_SYMBOL
101 E Central Blvd Mission KS 66202
[snip] 80 other similar addresses
500 Springfield Pike Kansas City MO 64114
The ArcMap tutorial Geocoding_in_ArcGIS_Tutorial, starts off byCreating a new address locator. I can't get this to work and am stuck there.
I am not sure where to start and could use some help. I guess that the terminology for this is 'geocoding addresses'. I have the ESRI ArcMap Tutorial files, PDF's and data but am having trouble getting started.
I would hope to wind up with a feature set/table like the Tiger arealm layer containing the fields: FID,, Shape STATEFP, COUNTYFP, ANSICODE, AREAID, FULLNAME, MTFCC
Thanks

If memory serves, I believe you need your street and address table stored in a geodatabase (personal or file) before you can create the address locator. Maybe not the address table but definitely the streets.
I also recommend using the standardize tools on your address table:

Hope that helps.

Interests:I am a Cartographer with varied experience. I work primarily as a freelancer. In my freelancing career I have worked with Maps.com, Designmaps.com, 3dmaps and various other map making and cartography sites.
I have varied software experience, however I use almost all the Cartography and quite a few GIS software, Illustrator, Freehand, Adobe Photoshop and Mapinfo to be precise. I have also worked on Microstation and other Intergraph software including Stereo Photogrammetry on ZI Photo Suites. The other software that I utilize for various other tasks specially 3D realism are Global Mapper and Maprenderer 3D.
Global mapper is a versatile software for various conversion and I found Maprenderer 3D for producing stunning 3D images from height data.
I am available for freelance work, right from mundane line digitisation to Illustrator / Freehand Cartography. Just send me a mail at promapper@gmail.com -

Why don't you try some online geo-coding tools, say http://www.batchgeocode.com/. It will generate lat long values for the address which you can then import in the ArcMap. Or you can use Global Mapper, which again locates geocoding information from the online address locator service.
