I have been laughing so much that I have not been able to comment on the problems of American locations re fitting them into 4 fields :-)
Still can't!!

Seems the current discussion just goes to show that there are more exceptions than not, even in the US - for which the 4 field idea was 'invented'.

I hate the way Reports print out if you use the Address field so I long ago stopped using it and followed Ron F in putting the complete address in the Location field. And I don't faff about with extra commas or trying to fit Locations to 4 elements, I just put as much or as little as I know. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
