Jan,
Following the principle that being lazy increases efficiency, an easy way to
edit a location is from the Individual Screen. At the end of the Place Field
there is a blue arrow, click
Brisbane,
Queensland for greater accuracy.

This has been a fascinating discussion for me! I'm starting to second
guess my use of the standard 4-part location standard now, especially
since there was a part of my brain that wondered why I wouldn't want

Hi Dawn,
I'm a firm believer of using whatever number of location spaces you want.
For example, a burial location:
Lot 403 MEMORIAL GARDEN, Fairhaven Memorial Park, Santa Ana, Orange,
California, USA
Sorting right to left, it comes up with all of the other Santa Ana
Locations.
And all the
times.

Hi Ron,
I would prefer an option in Legacy that would allow users to use 3 or 4 place

I understand that you prefer and only use 3 place locations, so how

Any suggestions?
