That's what Ron & I dislike so much! Look at what you wrote. That's US terminology, and probably your frame of reference. But it doesn't apply for everyone. So, we dispense with the Geo-Database because, again, it tries to impose something on us that we don't like, and go on our own merry way. I'm beginning to think that the biggest (nearly used the n word there) rat in the woodpile, is actually the LDS itself. They're the ones that seem to be insisting on a 4-part location. The software companies are merely playing follow-my-leader. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
