You might want to ask the question “What are the problems with state 
abbreviations?”  I, for one would not recommend this action.  However, if you 
choose to do this, use the master locations list to edit your locations entered 
in location fields.  For those in notes and other places you would need to use 
search and replace.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Can global edits be made in Legacy?

 

This is my first post to the mailing list.

I wish to abbreviate place names in my database and I hope to be able to format 
my individual changes only once and then apply that change to all instances of 
this name in the database.

 

For instance, if I wish to change "Massachusetts" to "MA" in every instance 
that it is found, how would I accomplish this without changing every individual 
instance?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Peter
