Hi Cathy, All I wanted to do was get my Master Location list in order so all places of each country, county, town are together, not scattered as some had commas before the country etc. I tried to explain my problem in my first email in this thread. Cheers Jen H

Either way, you can get it easily. What you need is a Location Report for Tagged Locations. In the Master Location List Options button Print - Location Report with the options you can get either a list of locations OR a list of locations and who and where uses them. But first you'll want to tag the locations you want. For an English county: Sort your Location list from right to left. Find the first location of interest: eg Find: England, Cornwall Click on the first, then right click and click on the last. That highlights the group. Then Options - Tag - highlighted records. Then go to Options - Print - Location Report, choose what you want and do it for tagged records. If you can't get it easily, then you need to do some work on cleaning up your Location List so everything is entered consistently.
