Kevin Thanks for the work around solution. I will try it, if there isn't easier way.
For family search users Legacy should ng the Core field stay United States for Family Search interface standards. The Core+ field could change to USA when the Geo code is selected? I loaned my Legacy book to my daughter and cant find an explanation of the differences between Code and Code + in the Latitude and Longitude database instructions.

Have you tried it? Dave Naylor Sat, 04 Jun 2011 20:29:51 -0700 Hello Michael, On 4 Jun 2011 Michael Helmantoler wrote: > 1.

Is there some setting I can > make to avoid this step" The default for this is "USA" and is set in the file GeoCountryCodes.txt If you wish to change the defaults in any of the Geo....txt files it's recommended that you keep the original file as is, and make a copy of it in your Legacy folder with the name modified by appending -Alt to its filename -- so the Country name file containing your modifications would be GeoCountryCodes-Alt.txt Legacy will first check for a *-Alt.txt file and if found will use it. To make your change... open your newly-created GeoCountryCodes-Alt.txt file in your text editor of choice (Notepad?) and scroll down to the USA section. A plus sign needs to be prefixed to your choice to prevent the default of "USA" being used for your "long location" names. So to have "United States" as your choice, prefix a plus sign to it so it is shown as "+United States" -- obviously without the quotes. A minus sign (hyphen) is prefixed to the default for the "short location" name if other than "USA" is wanted for it. Good luck!
