Remarks

Place name alias tables store aliases for addresses, such as �City Hall�, so that you can geocode addresses using alias names rather than addresses.

When using the IPlaceNameAlias interface to specify the place name alias table for a locator, only set the writeable properties immediately one after the other. Setting some of these properties, such as the Table property, can place the locator object in a state which can cause some of the readable properties and methods on the locator to raise errors until the other writeable properties on this interface are set.
