[Dxbase] Trouble with the county field

[JV]

Hi Bob
    The County Hunters had nothing to do with the independent cities. This
was done by the Virginia State Government. Take a look at a Virginia map.
Example: two or more small cities formed one city to keep from being annexed
by a larger city. This is what happen with the counties of Virginia Beach,
Chesapeake, Norfolk, Prince Ann and Nasser (spl). All of these counties
combined to form Isle of Wright. Each city has its own Government.
    The County Hunters had to do something with the people that lived in or
were mobile in these cities so they let the operators in these cities count
for one of the surrounding counties.

Yah, I guess HAMs in the "Independent Cities" in VA are not considered
to be in counties. That is odd because the VA WEB description you sent
me says that those cities have all of the courts and offices of a county
government and I am surprised that the county hunters group doesn't
therefore count them as counties. I just seems like if a HAM is in the
US there should be some corresponding county entity to put in my data base.
 
Thanks for the help Al.
