Bill, I know about the one where I select the two locations to be combined,
but this thread made it sound like there was some internal logic that
automatically combined locations. Or maybe I was reading it too late at night?
Thx. --Paula

Yes the feature to combine locations is there. I use infrequently but have
used, in fact last night

I have not determined what particular set of matches causes this automatic
combine, but I am not using the conventional US 4 place location convention and
I do know that mismatched lat/long entries do not prevent combining. This
might be the cause for others to have unexpected event changes.

I made a mess of the new entry and edited it a few times as I found out more
about the location. I was also having some computer problems and Legacy
crashed a couple of times so I put it down to that.
