Don, It certainly is a long way from perfect (at least in outputs), but is the best solution I've come up with.
I still don't understand how your Hayward High School is repeated. Do you have the name in the address surrounded by [[ ]] as I detailed? The biggest bug in the output to me is the fact that the event notes appear to print before the address, therefore separating the location from the address line by a considerable amount in some cases. I'll look forward to seeing if this is any different in version 6.

It does work in "MANY reports". However in the various Book reports with List Style event formatting, we still see: Graduation: with honors, 29 May 1929, Hayward, Sawyer Co., Wisconsin. Where goes the note?Address: Hayward High School(Hayward High School) where: Hayward High School = street address from the Event Location file.
