As you have a special profile for paypalexpress you could even remove the CA portion if you wanted, though it's my belief that the address reading software in both country's mail systems requires the 2 letter value (open to correction of someone knows better). In the UK the postal code has granularity down to 8 or so door numbers, so all they take account of is the postal code and door number, possibly street, and they don't seem to care about abbreviations of shire or county names. Eg, Northumberland and NTHUMB both arrive equally well. Or if they do like to care they still deliver the mail anyway. And being a bit old-fashioned I personally prefer the full names rather than someone's idea of an abbreviation. -- Lyn St George http://www.zolotek.net Consulting and hosting _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
