David,

Can't you do a query for all places containing "England" and cruise
through the output and change the ones that have United States?

This worked great Claire BUT

How in the world do I get rid of ALL my England locations for example:
"Northumberland, England, United States" that has United States appended

to England. GENBOX on it's own decided to add the United States because

I certainly didn't do that (although it might be a good idea <g> ). I
believe this should be United Kingdom and not the United States.........

HELP !!!!! Bill can you give us some advise ? Is there a search and
replace function that will strip all the United States from my places in

England? There are to many to do by hand and since GENBOX put them on
the place database ......... GENBOX should take them off. <grin>
