No, not misunderstanding. That's what I thought - that's where you put

That sounds like a plan. Lots of back-tracking though. I hate the way my

Can we please be clear that at one time London was part of the county of
Middlesex, and not the other way round. As there is no longer a Middlesex
County Council technically it no longer exists. However, it is still used to
describe an area and for post code (zip) purposes.

If Washington is a city and DC is treated as a state, wouldn't it be

I'm beginning to dislike the shape-shifting that needs to occur to force
the location to conform to four fields or values. Use the four when it
apllies. This is covered somewhat in EE 8.12.

The District of Columbia is a federal district that contains the city of

Being not someone who lives in the U.S. I find this very confusing. As

So, is it Washington DC, , , United States? Or is Washington a county as

All of my D.C. folks are very early on - so I get to use the county
system. While it looks odd, what was suggested might work - or perhaps
leave the city blank - put washington where you normally would put the
county - and then the district and country.

It may not be right but it depends on the time frame you are discussing.
Early on, D.C. had two counties - Washington and Alexandria - and
encompassed a portion of Virginia. In that case you probably would have
treated it like any city and state with reference to the county. Later
