The directory where I saved it has an "lox" file with the name I gave the locator, but when I navigate to the directory in the geocoding process, ArcMap doesn't see a locator. Does the locator itself have an loc extension? If so, where would that be? I haven't done this in ages, so I'm lost about what I'm doing wrong. Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 12:36:10 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/locating-address-locator/m-p/31789#M1717 THOMASMCGINTY 2011-01-14T12:36:10Z Re: Locating Address Locator https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/locating-address-locator/m-p/31790#M1718 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I saw your post earlier, and just now tried creating a locator in a directory.&nbsp; It works for me.&nbsp; Typically I create my locators as an object in a geodatabase, but I just created a folder and then a locator within it.&nbsp; Using windows explorer I can see .loc, .lox and .loc.xml files all named for the locator.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I used a US streets locator based on my sde centerlines file, and then added the locator no problem in ArcMap; interactivley I entered my address and got a hit.&nbsp; So I'm not sure what's going on with yours.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Maybe, try it again and see what happens?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:46:12 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/locating-address-locator/m-p/31790#M1718 JoeBorgione 2011-01-17T20:46:12Z
