Hi jborgion,
Yes, as I mentioned I've been searching the forums for answers because I wanted to do my best to avoid posting a question that has already been answered. I have seen a lot and have followed the advice that I found, including what you said.
Perhaps the following information would have been helpful to include in my initial post:
My field names are:
address
city
state
zip
(in the table where I just put the whole address in one field, then it is just: address)
All of my field names are short, have no spaces, and don't have special characters.
There are also no null values in the table.
As I mentioned, I tried to do this with only one address. This one address, imported using a table, failed to process. Yet, this same address worked when I use the geocoding function to search for one address at a time to add it to the map as a point. That worked fine.
Maybe I am misunderstanding what a "null value" is. Could something in the the address be a <null value>, but still work when entered into the geocoding feature in ArcMap? If so, could you give me some examples of a null value? My understanding of a null value would be things like the address starts with a blank space or a special character, or there is missing data, or maybe the address itself is incorrect and the location can't be found. My table has none of these.
Thanks again!
