Question

Can custom or file-based address locators be used in ArcReader?

Answer

At version 9.2, the only address locators that are usable in ArcReader are the ArcWeb Services address finder services that are provided in the Find tool. Any file-based or geodatabase locators, for example, the ones used in ArcMap/ArcCatalog, cannot be used in ArcReader.

If an ArcWeb Services account exists, additional address finder services are available.

Version 9.3 of ArcGIS Desktop and the ArcReader stand-alone product includes the functionality to use file-based address locators or those stored in a geodatabase.
