Snip 3) I also wish there were a way to strip the word "County" from *only* the Short Locations and *only* temporarily so I could print a chart without that extra word. Snip I don't know if this will do exactly what you want, but consider the contents of GeoExtraCodes.txt, which I reproduce below. I posted twice to the list about this mysterious but all-powerful file, and nobody responded, so I emailed Sherry directly, who said it did work, but all mention of it was missing from, or should I say "not yet in," the help files. She tried a perfunctory modification to it and it did affect the way the geo database, etc. works. The mod date on my copy of the file is 11 Nov 2003. Anybody else got this in the geo folder under Legacy? Only deluxe version I think. I think it may only function when you have the geo database open, in which case you may be stuck with an Access fix.
