JR - Well, that is what short names are for - to have the reports print out the way you'd like to read them. But in my opinion, if one's audience (which could be international) doesn't know that the "Albany" in the database stands for the city or the county, then one needs to be clearer and spell it all out.
Joan - I always use USA for my United States of America locations, and I think I am clear enough with that, but I spell out the rest of the countries in my database. I can always do a search and replace if I change my mind in the future! As for Carol's original question, you can use 5-locations for your master list. When you click on View ->Master Lists -> Location, at the right, click on Sort... You can define your Other1 to be Townships and move it into the spot where that occurs. But keep in mind, that when you enter non-Canadian (or non-5 part locations), that you may want to add the extra column so that everything will sort accordingly Left-to-right or right-to-left. And just a note to add what I am now doing with churches and cemeteries: I write the town name first and put the church or cemetery in parenthesis, then a comma, then continue with county, state, etc. It sorts in the master list by town. But my short location name reads more clearly as simply the cemetery name, the town, and the state. But that is how I want my reports to read. Susan On 8/20/05, John R.
