file) has address point data and meets the requirements for left and right house number

Creating a Point User Dictionary on page 202 . Also make sure that your left
and right address number columns are mapped properly in the User Dictionary wizard.
When selecting the state field choose the field that contains the two-letter state abbreviation. Do
not use the 2-digit FIPS code field as the state field.
