Although the info is displayed correctly in the "Place Name" and "Narrative Place Name" fields (comma separated string in the field itself - city, county, state, country), GenoPro will not actually recognize these locations "intelligently" until I translate it all into the hierarchical system. What is the quickest/easiest/recommended approach for converting this single field into the respective hierarchical fields without doing it one-by-one? I'd appreciate suggestions on how to cut down data entry time. Edited: Sunday, January 21, 2007 by Sonnabend
