Hi Diane,
Unfortunately I am way too familiar with this kind of thing – although I actually discovered
five ways to spell Mississippi in our system. Also, apparently Arkansas is a country in Europe.
Sadly, I don’t know of an easy way to fix this short of searching for the incorrect spellings and then doing a batch-change, but perhaps others might. In our case,
part of my project was to look at all the records very carefully, so I had to combine these batch changes with looking at each record individually. A terrifying prospect, I know.

Subject: Geography section of Objects Module
Happy Friday Eve-
Recently, I discovered in the geography section of the Object Module is not an authority field but a fill in the blank type.
Did you know there are three ways to spell Mississippi if you looked at our database?
Is there a way to clean up this field using a package or a report?
Thanks-
Diane
