Thanks Gene and Mike, But......
On the Individuals Information screen, if I click the inverted triangle
at the end of the location field, the master location list opens. Then,
if I click Edit... and enter additional information and try to Save - I
get the warning that this will change ALL records using this location.
HOWEVER, if, as I said in the original post, I click the globe icon at
the end of the location field on the persons Individual Information
screen, for the Geo Location Database and make my edit from the Geo
Location Database, the Warning does not appear, and allows the change to
be made - affecting everyone using that location.
Sorry, I tried to be clear about it in my description of the event but
must have murkied up the waters.
I evidently discovered a way to make a change that the programmers
didn't think to put a "stop warning" on. Another thing - when you make
a change like this, it does not change the Last Modified dates for those
affected.
And of course (Mike) this means that I did not turn off any of the
warnings available in Options > Customize > Other. I had thought of
reversing the goof as you describe, but I had made too many other
changes to locations to feel comfortable that I would get it right.
Ah! Murkiness clears! Suggest that you put in a request for a new
feature. If we submit enough requests, you never know your luck, some of
them may get actioned :-)
