That is correct, Thomas. It does increase the number of locations that the program needs to keep track of. But it is a relational database and being of such design, it can keep track of them quite nicely. And... you can attach them to as many events, facts or people that you need to. I use the same approach that Ron uses and by putting the address in the location field, I don't have to click on the '+' every time I want to put the specific address that someone lived at during the 1910 census or the name of the church in which my grandparents were married back in 1914.

This limitation is only suggested because American Geo-locations use that format. Legacy is international. I put the full address in the Location Field and only use the Address Fields for current names and addresses etc. Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________________________ New Blog: Free Contacts Database for use with Open Office http://www.fergys.co.uk View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.
