Deborah, I spent sometime tidying up my data. I have > 3500, which I started first using Legacy in the late 1990's.
Whilst in the Census Event Address for the street number street name , I use also http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/ to enter in the details for longitude and latitude. I have to admit my brain sometimes gets confused between Legacy N/S and E/W settings when the geocoder returns +/- ;) BTW may I suggest you make your postings text only. :) Margaret On 19/12/2009, Deborah Trounstine <dtrounst...@comcast.net> wrote: > That sounds like a really good method, Margaret.
