Jane, I didn't understand your question at first, but yes, that's how occuptions landed in the Master Location List. FTM uses a PLAC tag when exporting Facts. That tag is reserved for Locations and any field that has that tag will automatically be imported to a location!
Dave has fixed that in a recent build of Legacy v5 so that the user is asked at the time of importing a file from FTM what to do with PLAC tags. Thanks for using Legacy.
