Bill, I would like to make two comments on your example 1) The country should always be included in a location, which is where you are adding the data you quote: Freds Farm, Bludgers Road, Tadworth, Leicestershire, 553 EX2, England.
2) It is standard to enter locations as they were at the time of the Event, and it is only in recent years that the Post Code (Zip) has been incorporated into Post Office addresses. In most circumstances, therefore, it would be incorrect to include it.

This then allows you to enter the address in any format you like and add notes. This is useful for recording things like street addresses and names of farms ie Freds Farm, Bludgers Road, Tadworth, Leicestershire, 553 EX2 If you are not concerned about the mapping and associated database functionality then what I have suggested above should work for you. However other parts of the Legacy software may not be able to "see" and interpret that address correctly. The mapping software and database reports seem to rely upon the previously discussed 4 field data format. I can send you a PM with screenshots to show you what I am talking about above - or if you have the training CDs look at the one about Place Names.

For instance, in one of my files I have.. Stanhope, Bishop Auckland, County Durham, UK How would this be written correctly?
