Keith,
Yours is a very good idea.  Thanks for sharing!

Locations were something that I had a good deal of trouble with in terms of
being standard, informative, good output etc. I initially had the same
problem of duplication in output which show both location and address.

So what I do now is this.

All my locations have 4 standard levels, like this

Hutton Rudby, North Yorkshire, England, UK

I have this because I can always fill 4 levels of information starting with
town/village, whereas I might not know a parish etc.

Where I have further information about an address i.e hospital, church,
street etc I add it in the address. Now, the trick I use so that the whole
address doesn't repeat is to use private marks to identify text I don't want
to print. So my addresses end up looking something like this

Name: =   [[Hutton Rudby, All Saints Church]]
Address = All Saints Church

In many reports this will have the effect of combining the location and
address to read

Hutton Rudby, North Yorkshire, England, UK (All Saints Church)

Note I only enter as much additional data as I need in the address fields,
although I could have put the whole address in and continue to use the [[
symbols to mark text not to print. By putting the name as [[Hutton Rudby,
All Saints Church]] all my Hutton Rudby addresses will be in order in the
address list, but I can still pick out the specific street church etc.

Hope that is of some help.

Regards

Keith
