I suppose you have tried creating a new location and they somehow disappear too ? Have you tried opening your local address book (names.nsf) and look there ? Location documents should be visible under Advanced - Location menu on the left side of your local address book. Try creating it there instead of from Notes Preference.

Tinus,

That was a great suggestion, I have used Notes for years since Version 4 and always gone through the local address but with recent versions, I've been using Preferences and forgot all about the Advanced - Location menu.  I found that my locations and accounts were all there, so I can now associate them to each other.

Thanks

Stephen
