[Dxbase] Trouble with the county field

[Joseph Glockner]

Bob,

I guess what we have to keep in mind here - is that the COUNTY
column is "keyed-to" the acceptable 3,077 counties that the
USA-CA is keyed-to ... regardless of whether a county is listed
in a civilian look-up database, etc .. the thing to keep in
mind here is that the AWARD for Counties (USA-CA) is what we
are working toward .. if the award "does not" list that county
as being one of the 3,077 - then it will not show up and should
not be added - because again - think of the AWARD people's
database..
