Locating Address Locator

[THOMASMCGINTY]

I created a new address locator using US Address-Dual Ranges and North American streets from the Data & Maps DVD. 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.

I saw your post earlier, and just now tried creating a locator in a directory.  It works for me.  Typically I create my locators as an object in a geodatabase, but I just created a folder and then a locator within it.  Using windows explorer I can see .loc, .lox and .loc.xml files all named for the locator.

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.  So I'm not sure what's going on with yours.

Maybe, try it again and see what happens?
