I am confused by the way you have the locations set up, which may be why no one is answering you. You are allowed to do it whathever way you like. Your descriptions do not match your locations. What I read it as is Kansas = city Chautauqua County = county Chautauqua = state other = other country = USA IMHO, city and state are swapped for the first problem. what is the use of 'other'. Is other a smaller than a city 'place'. What you might consider doing is finding someone who is both MS Access literate, and a Legacy user, and local to you. In general, the locations must be separated using the Access program systems, then renamed, then resent to Legacy. I haven't played with it in 10 years, so I would have to relearn the whole thing. And the most important question is, have you been consistant in the field usage as desribed. There are a ouple of Access whizes on the LUG. maybe one of them might contact you off-line. Last question. How many people in your DB? You might need to go to View, Master Lists, Locations and (after backing up) go through and edit each location, one at a time. The list will resort but it should be obvious which ones haven't been done yet. Good Luck. If you want more in depth stuff, send to me off line. Rich in LA CA
