When creating an address locator using the Create Address Locator tool in ArcToolbox using US Streets w/Zone and a place name alias you get the following error and the locator creation fails. "An address field is mapped to a field from the wrong table".
After mapping all the fields for the reference data and alias table, the PreType component is set to None. If you reselect it as None, the error goes away and the locator is created successfully. This is the workaround, but you shouldn't have to do this.
