Loran, I always use the country. For the example you give, I would use Terr Haute, Vigo, Indiana, USA. My reason for this is to keep everything consistent. Also, I use the full name of the state. I was directed to do it this way years ago by a genealogist that would be well over 100 if she were still alive. She was very meticulous in how the data was kept. I think I learned from a perfectionist. Sometimes, I think it ridiculous, but I still do it all the way I was taught and this was before computers. Anyway, I like everything to be consistent. If using the country for one country and not another is, to me, inconsistent. Just another humble opinion. There are so many variations in the way people do things.

I did not mean to refer to anything about Legacy. Okay, now to your concern about the Legacy geography function. First it is crucial to input all locations as city-comma, county-comma, state-comma. Example: Terre Haute,Vigo,IN. in all location spaces. Do not enter anything more or less there. If you do not know one of the three slots (city,county,state you must enter it this way: Terre Haute,,IN. Loran Ralph Braught [EMAIL PROTECTED] (812) 535-3618 8380 N.
