Dennis- So far I cannot replicate this problem. I made a copy of my family file, and worked on the copy trying to duplicate the problem, but it is working for me. Now that you have mentioned it, I will watch for it.

I installed V6 (6.0.0.66) two days ago. This morning I noticed a problem. I was hoping someone else might be able to confirm what I have found. Let me start by saying that I have my options set to display Short Location Names on screen views. I don't know if it has anything to do with the problem I am about to describe, but I thought I would mention it anyway. I had an individual in my database with a birth location of... long name: Topolyán, Zemplén, Hungary short name: Topolyán I verified this in the backup done the day before I started using V6. Yesterday I added a burial photo, an Alt. Birth event, and several source citations to this individual. I did not notice any anomalies at the time I did this, but have to admit I wasn't looking for any. Today, when I opened the database to update something else, the family view for this individual popped up with a birth location of Topolyán. No problem since I have my options set to display short location names. Then I clicked on this person and opened up the Individual's Information window. The birth location said Topolyán. I scratched my head for a second, thinking that I should be seeing the long location name on this window. Then I opened the Master Location List for this location and now find an entry for... long name: Topolyán short name: Topolyán This location did not exist in my pre-V6 backup. I would have had no reason to change it when I made my updates yesterday. It seems that all locations for the standard events (b,bap,d,bur) for this individual now point to locations like the one above (new long name = old short name) that weren't there two days ago. Two individuals were updated yesterday and a total of 5 phantom locations are now present in this database. I also found 1 phantom location in another database I updated yesterday that wasn't there two days ago. The only change I made to this individual was to add an event. Strangely, not every individual I have updated since installing V6 exhibits this problem. So I am asking interested V6 users who use different short and long location names to take a quick look at their Master Location List to see if they see anything strange. I would like to confirm that I am not the only person with this problem. -- Dennis M.
