Tom, This is essentially how I have been doing thing's thus far and have been happy with it. However it is now starting to cause me a problem.
I have begun to use phpgedview on my website and there is a very nice location list which breaks locations down first by country then county etc through each of the levels of my locations. The trouble is when it gets to the more detailed levels more often than not there are atleast two levels of "unknown" data because of missing street addresses. I Suppose this wouldn't be a problem your way as you keep the street etc prior to the first comma. I'll give this some more thought Thanks for the suggestion Keith -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Montgomery Sent: 19 July 2005 04:53 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Location addresses (AGAIN) Me? I don't follow a lot of the conventional thinking for location entry and this is an example. I would simply add the street data to the community and have it read: "Middlesbrough (25 Willow Street), Yorkshire, England" If this is a family home I would say that as well: "Middlesbrough (Bage family home at 25 Willow Street), Yorkshire, England". I like to do it this way as it is "in your face" when working on the family and marriage screen(s). Will also use event entry occasionally but only when it gets rather complicated and could be confusing. Has never created a problem for me and looks just fine in reports.
