Changing Addresses

Editing an Existing Address

Take note of the address as it is attached to the entity; if a portion is incorrect, you can adjust the address in the Address Maintenance form.  When you first enter the Address Maintenance form you are in Add mode. To retrieve an existing address, you have to press [F7] (or press the flashlight on the menu bar) to put the form into Query mode. Enter the address, either full or partial, and then press [F8] to execute the query. Don't forget that the query is case sensitive, so if the data is in uppercase, you need to query for it in uppercase. It is usually a good idea to search both ways to locate all addresses that you may need to adjust or modify. You can use also use the ‘%’ percent sign as a wild card to look for the multiple ways that an address may have been entered.  The Address Usage block on the bottom of the screen shows where the address is used in the system.
