Thank you all for your replies! That is interesting about putting the address in there behind the city. But wouldn't that lead to a very large location list? Instead of having one entry, eg for Detroit,County,State,Country, there would be numerous entries in the location list for Detroit, as well as numerous entries for other cities as well. Forgive me for repetitious or mundane questions, but I'm still a little frustrated trying to figure out how best to use the power of Legacy for my needs.

The ability to sort locations in several different sequences is also extremely helpful. Don’t be afraid to experiment, and don’t expect to have everything perfect at the outset. There are probably very few of us who haven’t decided at some point to change a particular data entry scheme.
