Address Locator "Single Field" Not Working Correctly

Question

I have built an single field address locator from an address point shapefile, and am now trying to geocode a voter file.  Most of the addresses plot out correctly, however every once in a while it matches ie) 8418 Long Grove Rd with 8144 Long Grove Rd.  Why is it doing this?  How can I fix it?

Thank you!

I can attach the data, but it won't let me attach the address locator.  Help?

How about a point shapefile of the ones that should be hitting?  And a screen shot of your locator properties?

I'll do my best to get to this a little later today...

What version of ArcGIS are you using?  Tough to even make a guess without seeing your data; perhaps you could post a snippet of your points and the address file you are matching and see if anyone can replicate the problem you are having...
