Hello Dan,

I don't think so. You can add the 2-letter code as alternate name, and I guess that it will show in reports when you make that the primary name.

> A suggestion:  If the place model is going to be enhanced, I would plead that the ISO standard for country codes be taken into account.  "ISO 3166-1 alpha-2" and "ISO 3166-1 alpha-3" codes (US GB and USA GBR) are very much in world-wide use.

We have a Gramplet that gets location data from geonames, and I think that it does that for you, or at least the 2-letter codes. They will then be imported as alternate names.

Does this help a bit?

Regards,

Enno
