I would like to thank those who have provided input to the thread.
I also agree with Paul, that if we intend to share our data with others, than it should be in similar format. I guess that is why we are all using Legacy.
What I was trying to do was find the common ground, and use that for now.
I was also wanting to set the locations up so there will be less editing in the future, when and if Support have another look at the Geo Database.
Thanks to all those who replied.
Australia has a couple of excellent sites to assist in getting the locations, and coordinates correct.
