David, which report won't take out your extra commas, or is it that you
have more than the four standard positions. Reports I have created give
the option for removing more than 1 extra comma and more than 2 extra
commas.. It is under format. The phrasing is remove more than 1 (or 2)
leading commas. It may be that the position of the commas matters; try
it anyway.

The format I use is probably well away from the "purists", but it works for
me, as 90% of my locations are UK based.
I use:
House Number/Building, Street, District, Town, County, Post Code, Country
So mine would be:
York & District Hospital, , , York, North Yorkshire, , England
For the short Location names I take out all the spare commas.
I use "Generic Terms" instead of "USA Terms" on the Location Sort Options
and set them into this order:
Position 7
Position 5
Position 4
Position 3
Position 2
Position 1
Position 6
Position 8
Position 9
Then the Location list gets sorted in this order:
Country, County, Town, District, Street, House Number/Building, Post Code,
Position 8, Position 9
(8 & 9 I don't use anyway)
Which means the example appears as:
England, North Yorkshire, York, , , York & District Hospital,
My only niggle with doing it this way is that reports won't take out
multiple commas with spaces ", , ". Maybe a suggestion for the future? Also
I would love to be able to manually rename those "Positions". Why are the
USA ones named, and the others aren't?
