Funny indeed! Of all the reasons I can think of where I'd want to get my Lat/Lon back out, the Name Tag Report really doesn't make that list. Also funny is that in this case it is the Location with the 'getting my data back' problem, and not Address, the usual offender. So a bit of a problem reversal this time. Sometimes it seems the left hand is unaware there's a right hand at Legacy headquarters.
