[Dxbase] Address label formating problems...

Mon Jul 4 20:36:39 EDT 2005

George,
When data is retrieved from the CD, it is taken as listed in the address CD 
database. The fields in the address database come "as is".
Regards,
Jack

> ADR3: 2930 Meadowood Drive, New Port Richey, FL 34655 /* Combined Steet,
