Jim, The way that Cathy suggests is exactly the method I use. Having said that, we are both from outside the USA and I know I do not have much use for the Geolocation facility. If you use this a lot you may find that it will not give good results without temporarily changing the Location to that which suites this facility.
For both of us, however, this is very much a minor disadvantage.

I think I've had it right in my file all along, but when I read some of the posts, I became a little doubtful. Thanks again.

It also provides a place for the specific street address/institution name etc - the Address. You can add an address for any or all events as well as a current residence address - so they can be confusing. More confusing is that when you type in the Name field of an Address, it doesn't suggest from the existing Master Address list. When you start typing in a location in the place fields, you do get suggestions from the Master Location list. This difference in the way it operates means that it is very easy to duplicate addresses. To avoid duplicates, you need to click the Address List button and choose the one you want from there. Having said all that, I add the address bit to the location and rarely use the Address fields except for the Current Residence Address. I don't like the way the address prints in brackets after the location in reports. I enter locations consistently from the smallest unit to the largest, always ending with the country. I sort my Master Location list from right to left so its easy to find all locations in the same town or state or whatever.
