Thanks for sending this Jonathan. For some reason I didn't see it the first
time you posted it. I'll take a look at it this evening when I have a
little more free time.

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.

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.
