That's alright Tom, I sometimes get a bit confused on somethings within FTM 2014. One of the things I like about the new rewrite is the flexibility to do things. Of course all of the flexibility comes at a price such as higher learning curves and complexity. I tend to resolve my place names using the Places work area. Think of it this way, your message prompted my reply which helped another user learn something new about FTM 2014. It's a win win situation. BJ On 3/24/2015 11:12 AM, Tom Herson wrote: > Thsmld. BJ!
