Kathy, Thanks for the quick reply. I think the problem may be that I didn't follow Legacy's formatting requirements and put in commas or missing cities, etc. Denise

I did click the box down on the bottom so that it would show me a report of what was being changed too; maybe that would help solve your mystery? I've been meaning to do this so your message was a great reminder. Kathy On Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 10:14 AM, Denise <[email protected]> wrote: I have just joined this listserv. I am trying to figure out how to do a mass change to my database. Specifically, I had abbreviated the names of US States, but have since decided I want them spelled out. When I go into Locations and choose Options, Expand/Contract Location Parts, and then select the last box under Action to Take, and the first boxes under Records to Change and Parts to Work on, and then click Continue, nothing changes. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
