<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a question about something that is probably not an ESRI product, but I hope that someone might have knowledge of where we could get it. Seminole County has a point address shapefile that is geocodable in one address format. The problem is that many people from many different departments geocode against this shapefile (known as Situs) and their input databases are usually not in correct Situs format and do not use Situs naming conventions. I have looked at different address standardization software, but they generally want to standardize to the USPS format. My object is to find an address standardization software that is inexpensive and customizable to standardize to our Situs format, and that also functions as an address cleaner in that it standardizes to our data entry protocol (i.e., STATE ROAD 436 becomes SR436). We have a programmer capable of customizing it for us, but we .want to avoid having to write a totally new piece of software. Can anyone give me any advice on where I might find this? I have done quite a bit of research on my own about this, and have not found what I am looking for- all I have found is expensive data verification services who want to sell me the farm when all I need is a wheelbarrow. </FONT></P>
