Hi all
As for my 2 cents worth. My first usage did not include USA with an eye
toward keeping it short. But after spending all this time with the marvelous
Geo Location List, I find that it helps me to know that I have checked the
entry against THAT Geo list [No USA extension means that location has not
been checked. But I really like the last paragraph and will adopt it for my
own use. Thanks for posting it

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Entering Locations
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.
