Saving your layout within the Configuration Editor
You won’t be able to use your new layout unless you save it!
Restarting Pro
You will always need to shut down the Searching part of QuickAddress Pro and restart it before your new layout will become available for use.
Selecting the correct layout
If QuickAddress Pro doesn’t paste addresses in the way that you would expect it to, it could be because you are using the wrong layout.
Checking the “TAB” pasting order
The ‘TAB’ button is usually used to move the cursor between fields on a database screen. Be careful…it may not move you through the fields in the order that you would expect it to. For example, in the database screen below:
…you would assume that the TAB button moves you through the fields in the following order:
…in which case you would configure QuickAddress Pro as follows:
If you were able to play around with the database screen you may discover that in actual fact TAB moves you through the fields in the following order:
…i.e. the postcode is the first element of the address to be entered. Your configuration would therefore be WRONG!
You would need to configure QuickAddress Pro as follows:
Step 1: Fix the postcode to the 1st line rather than the 5th:
You’re not quite finished yet – take a look at the example address and you’ll see why:
Only the town, county and postcode are being returned. This is because, unless you fix an element in a specific position (as you have done with the town, county and postcode), QuickAddress Pro will only return elements in the logical order in which they appear in an address.
You have fixed the postcode to line 1 – there are no elements following the postcode in an address so no elements are returned in lines 2 and 3.
We solve this problem as follows:
Step 2: Fix ‘Organisation, …’ to the 2nd line:
Organisation is the first possible element that can appear in a British address. Selecting ‘Organisation’ and ‘Allowing elements to follow’ […] tells QuickAddress Pro to return the first element that it comes to in the address. Have a look at one of the examples to check that addresses are being correctly formatted.
