I'm returning a dataset with a primary and alt. address. I'm trying to pass the first into the objAdd. then the second, unfortunately, the address returned is still the first one. It appears to be holding onto the first objAdd.Address.

I'm a bit stuck. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi WC, the address object can check more than one address at a time but only in certain instances. If you have two address fields, the object will first look at address 1 or your primary address for a match in the USPS/DPV table. If the primary address is correct and no other information is needed such as a suite, it will not look at address 2 and move on to the next record. Now if address 1 is incomplete and needs a suite to verify the address, it will look at address 2 for more info. Finally if address 1 is not a valid address, then the object will look at address 2 and will try to validat it. If you are running a different scenario let me know and I will post a reply asap. Sorry for the delay in response Whistle

Always make sure to call the ClearProperties() Method which will clear out the remnants of the prior address before populating the next address inputs.

Here is a code snippet.

'Clearing Properties from addrObj
addrObj.ClearProperties()

'Loading values from Form into Object.
addrObj.Company = Company.Text
addrObj.Address = Address.Text
addrObj.Address2 = Address2.Text
addrObj.City = City.Text
addrObj.State = State.Text
addrObj.Plus4 = Plus4.Text
addrObj.Zip = Zip.Text

'Verifying address. Note: VerifyAddress() will return TRUE if successful.
addrObj.VerifyAddress()
