In the upper left of the expand/contract location parts screen you have
to tell Legacy what action to take. The default is to expand the long
location name parts and contract the short location name parts. Also
check which records are to be affected. The default is all locations but
if only tagged
Hi Brian. I'm in agreement with you that it is better to use the four
divisions that Legacy recommends. However, is it not true that a person
(if so desired) can use up to nine divisions in the place names,
separated by commas and still perform proper sorting by using the RIGHT
to LEFT sort?
Yes, Legacy does handle up to nine comma separated levels but there are
certain routines, and the expand contract is one of them, that assume
that only four levels are used. With the levels being city, county,
state and country.
By the way I did not say it is better to use four levels only that
Got it - thanks!

This is why I am trying to correct my location master list. I want it to do
the things it will do if it is correct. I do not understand the location
name parts statements. If I am trying to get everything in my list to fit
with what Legacy recommends, is there one of these I should check? Do you
Yes! You CAN do it globally! Go to the MASTER LOCATION List screen. At the
top right click OPTIONS. Then click EXPAND/CONTRACT LOCATION PARTS. Then on
the right side check the box that says ADD USA (or add United States, whichever
your prefer) and you are done

Why don't you make a copy of your Legacy file and test it out there?
Working with your own file (albeit a copy in case you don't like the
results) is the best way to see what the effect will be on your own data.

No! It won’t delete anything in that field, it will only add the , USA to the
end. The location field is set
the top one, Add USA and then click CONTINUE in the upper right

Anyway, if you provide about 5 to 10 ACTUAL examples of WHAT you want to
change to WHAT, perhaps it would become clearer for the users on this
list to help you.
I would like to have the location list so that it will operate as it is
supposed as regards sorting, data input automatically
