The following instructions will restore the company field to its original state, which is useful for truncation and formatting.

  • Before address validation, pull down the Edit menu to Fields.
  • Increase the LEN column of the company field to 150 characters.
  • If you do not have a field named ocompany, create that field, and change the LEN to 150 characters.
  • Click OK and click Yes.
  • In the Address Validation feature, make sure the Preserve Original Company box is checked. 
  • Run address validation. 
  • After validation, pull down the Edit menu to Command.
  • Create a new command, naming it Fix company field truncation and formatting
  • In the Command Statement Syntax area, paste the following command:
Replace all company with ocompany
  • Click Run, then close the Command window. 

The company field is restored to its original state.

I was looking for an easy to use all-in-one postal software solution and was working with Satori Software. They quoted me $10,000.00 which was out of the realm of our budget. I was also lead to believe that they were the only solution, until I found Accuzip. I was able to save my company over $9,000.00 with one phone call to your courteous and knowledgeable sales staff. Your product does everything that we need and much much more. Thank you Accuzip!
