Remove the suffix_ association with name suffix

When you initially open your file in AccuZIP6 and check the Use Header box, AccuZIP6 will assign the field named suffix_ to your suffix field. Validation will populate the suffix_ field with street suffix information, which may replace name suffix data. Here’s how to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future:

Pull down the File menu to Properties.
Click on the Fields tab.
Click on Auto Field Maps.
From the field name pull-down menu, choose Suffix_
In the Alternate Field Names table, click on Suffix and hit the X button to remove it.
Click OK, then click OK again. Now suffix_ won’t automatically be associated with the suffix field from your database. And because of that, validation won’t alter that field.

I Just wanted to let you know we are in the Postal Fort Worth Texas Division and I received a call from someone in their office today wanting to ask me some questions. He asked if I understood about the changes with the move update starting for this month, then he asked me what software we were using. I explained to him that we have been using AccuZIP Software for the last 20 years and I thought you were the #1 in the United States. I told him that you were the only software displayed in the Postal Section of the Smithsonian Institute. He asked me if I had to manually change the updated addresses and I told him no that the Software did it for us and I could print a report showing the old address and the new address. He told me out of 32,000 names that were updated only 3 were wrong and he just wanted to call me to see what Software we were using. Thanks for such good software and support from your company over the past 20 years.
