Ian,
Writing to this list isn't reporting to Millennia.
I've followed your instructions using the Legacy Sample file.
Understandably, K Hill, Victoria, Australia wasn't in the Location list.
I closed the List and entered it on the Individual Information screen
without a problem.
What have I missed?
Tried again with my test file which is much larger. Messed around in the
Location list changing the sort.
Still no problem.
Probably I'm clicking on the wrong thing. I click on the down arrow to
access the Master Location List and not the world icon for the geo
location database as I don't use that and don't have it installed. Is
that where the problem is?

If a Location lookup is attempted in the Individual Info edit screen,
by selecting the control at right, under the condition below the
action of simply closing the Master Location List module (using the
Close button) will cause Legacy Family Tree to lock up. This requires
a restart; the current person’s data edit is of course lost.
This happens when the newly-entered locality cannot be found by the
module. In my latest mishap, my entry was K Hill, Victoria, Australia
(I hoped that I had an entry that was similar, in the Master Location
List; not so).
I believe this is ONLY when a new person is added and his/her details
are being entered, and have not yet been saved; if the person does
already ‘exist’ in the database, the list under ‘Geocode’ in the
Location module, headed “People using this location”. Perhaps it is
due to a slow lookup to Bing Maps – whatever the reason, it’s annoying.
K Hill is an abbreviation used by state of Victoria (recorded in its
BDM index) around 1900s for some location – I have searched a bit,
cannot find a credible match.
For those paranoid about Legacy v9 – this occurred in v8 Deluxe , many
times.
