Yes, Ron, that's what I've been saying. It certainly might not be quite correct, but it works!
If you put a comma in the front then you can remove leading commas when you create reports or webpages You can do whatever you want! I'm just saying..... if you're going to use the Master Location List features I've been discussing, you need to have Legacy formatted in the manner that it was programmed for. Since I like to sort and expand/contract, it's easier for me to have the locations formatted consistently. If you don't use those features, it doesn't matter....... And I do have a lot of international locations in my file - England, Germany, France, Netherlands, Australia.... To me, the name is important, not where my comma placement is!
