Bruce, Given that VE is not part of Legacy I think that Legacy records the co-ordinates of where the pin is placed, as it would should one set the latitude/longitude. Each time the Location List is entered, Legacy automatically looks for these co-ordinates and VE sets the pin, if there are no co-ordinates then it uses the location field to search.
