Hi Debbie,
Unfortunately I didn't make my first post clear as to what I wanted to do:
1) I have a location string such as Local Cemetery, Great Town, BIG
PRAIRIE COUNTY, Nevada, USA
2) For the Location - short string I want to end up with Local
Cemetery, Great Town, Nevada, USA
In other words I would like to be able to pick out any of the comma
delimited location parts and delete just that location part.
I have been able to search and replace the "COUNTY" problem but I still
find that my Short-Location comma delimited string is still <to long>

Do a Global Search and Replace.
Go to Search > Search and Replace
Select under "Find Where:" "Lists - Location Short"
Under "Find What:" enter " County," (make sure to use the
beginning space and ending comma)
Under "Replacement text:" leave blank
Under "How to find" check off "Anywhere in Field"
Under "How to replace" check off "Replace only text found with
replacement text"
That will get rid of all the occurrences of the word "County" in
your short location.

Sorry Dave,
Not a workable solution when using my big location database. It
would
take many "moons" doing them one at a time.
Any more suggestions from the Legacy Users group .... I hope

Anyone know how I can "delete" just the county in all my
short name
locations? Is this possible?
Edit each "Short Location" entry in your Master Location list.
Cheers, -- Dave N.
