Sherry, Again thanks for your input. This small tidbit if information about Locations should help those who are using it, and about the intended use.

If anyone has a "better idea" for any part of Legacy, they can always send in a suggestion.... Legacy has a lot of flexibility in the way features can be used, but things may not always *work* quite right if you do something different from the programmer's intentions. For example, unless you follow the 4-element design of the locations, the Master Location List won't sort correctly if you sort by other than the default (city, county, state, country) nor will the locations show correctly in the Chronolgy view if you select to show country first.
