Peggy, Legacy does have a search and replace for the Master Location List Go to Search > Search and Replace Use the scroll down list to select Lists - Location to find and replace in the Long Location Name Use Lists - Location Short to search and replace in the Short location names. There are other fields in the Master Location List you can also change this way.
