The extra comma for the 4 place holder is only needed for the geo-coding. Once
you've got the geo-code, you can edit the the location name on the way out
before saving. i foten do that for old colonial cites that have since changed
name, or cities that have csince changes jurisdiction at the county/state
level. I use the modern name and location to geo-code, then edit to the
original name before saving. This can be done with European 3 place addresses
as well to remove the fourth place comma after geo-coding.

I have never been able to get this to work.
Report Options ---Format---- Remove one or more leading commas
from locations
Report Options ---Format---- Remove two
or more leading commas from locations
"And don't forget that most of the reports have the ability to suppress
those extra commas. So just because I see "A, , C, D" on my screen, "A,
C, D" is what gets published"

One other suggestion while I'm thinking about it. For the long location
name I try to stick with the 4 field convention because it makes the
Location List easier to use. BUT I use the short location name for how I
would like the name to appear in reports. IOW, I use the short location
name as the display name. I have my cake and ate it too!
