1.1

State not found

The state abbreviation is not a valid two-character abbreviation.

2.1

City not found

The city name is not included in the list of cities associated with the specified state.

3.1

Street not found

The street is not included in the list of streets associated with the city.  This is usually caused by misspelled street names.

4.1

Address not found

The house number cannot be found in the list of addresses associated with the street.  This error can also apply to invalid post office box numbers and rural route addresses.

5.1

Uncomputable+4 range

The ZIP+4 code cannot be computed for the address because of non-numeric characters in the house number, the LOW to HIGH, or LO+4 to HI+4 fields of the database.  The correct five-digit ZIP Code will be displayed.

5.2

+4 unavailable

A +4 add-on code is not available in the addresses window, indicating that the database thinks this address is still an undeveloped lot.  The correct five-digit ZIP Code will be displayed.

6.1

Multiple streets match

The street name is ambiguous because more than one street name in the database matches, and there is not enough information to choose from between the multiple choices.  For example, if "100 E MAIN ST" and "100 W MAIN ST" is listed, then "100 MAIN ST" causes multiple matches.

6.2

Multiple addresses match

The ZIP+4 is ambiguous because more than one ZIP+4 matches the address.  For example, if a street has an address for houses numbered from 100 to 500, and another for houses numbered from 300 to 600, then the address 400 is a multiple match to both records.

Time ran out

Space ran out

Space ran out while processing this address.  This can happen only when the address or alternate address contains an extremely large number of ambiguous words.
