Geoff,
I hope those enhancements include changing the "Remove one or more
leading commas from locations" option to "Remove extraneous commas from
locations", which would also include any unnecessary commas at the end
or consecutive commas in the middle of locations. I requested this a
few years ago but never heard anything further about it.
If you use the Geo Database to look-up and enter locations, you're going
to end up with omitted sub-fields for countries that don't follow the
Legacy "standard" of City/County/State/Country. These unnecessary
commas read just as poorly in reports as leading commas do.

Gail,
Good questions. And you are right.
I have many locations for which I only know the county and state. While I do
enter them as ", Coffee County, AL, USA" I utilize the "Remove one or more
leading commas from locations" option on the format tab of the report
options. Thus, the report prints as "John Smith was born in Coffee County,
AL, USA" instead of "John Smith was born in , Coffee County, AL, USA."
There's a pretty good discussion of this on the "Mastering Names, Dates &
Places" CD.
All in all, though, there is a need to enhance the location tools to
accommodate for these and other situations.
Thanks,
Geoff Rasmussen
