Yeah, but Chuck, "I" said Louisiana Territory. And it belonged to France, then to Spain, then to France again before being sold to the United States. And I guess I could have said Louisiana, New France or Louisiana, New Spain as well. <g> We had us a lotta flags here, yeah! But now we only have one - Old Glory!! Henry F. Brownlee South Louisiana

Also, some time back in this thread: For the person who claims that ALL her locations are in the U.S., then what are you going to do when you finally do trace someone from overseas? Backfilling data due to one's initial oversight is clearly not fun.....

Before entering the overseas data run a global find&replace of place data, replacing blank country field with USA... Then start entering the foreign stuff. Hmmm... Legacy uses a JET-based data base... I suppose one could open the .fdb file and run some sort of update script, taking each location field and changing the rightmost ",," into ",USA," (tblLR seems to be the location records). -- > ============================================================== < > wlfraed@ix.netcom.com | Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber KD6MOG < > wulfraed@dm.net | Bestiaria Support Staff < > ============================================================== < > Bestiaria Home Page: http://www.beastie.dm.net/ < > Home Page: http://www.dm.net/~wulfraed/ <
