I'm about to launch into England locations. Can hardly wait. My theory, so far, is to fill in the 4 blanks as applicable and either leave the rest or put it under the Address. For instance, in English locations, there's often a parish in a city. I put the parish under Address. How this prints out in reports I have yet to see. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/
