Care Of address line

[OregonJohn]

I am importing addresses from a different database.

The address is often like the following

Joe Smith
c/o Sam Smith
222 A St
Some City, OR 97501

How do you recommend I get that second name line?
I am currently using the Address_Name field but have read that that is usually used for something that describes the address use, i.e. Home.

Thanks in advance for any help. John in Oregon.

You have a couple of options:
1. You could use "Address Name" like you're using, though as you point out, that's not a typical usage of that field.  That said, most folks don't use that field, so maybe you're OK.
2. You can add it as "Supplemental Address 1", and push the next line down to "Supplemental Address 2".
3. You could create an address custom field called "Care Of".

Note that with option #1 or #3, you'll want to edit your Addressee format under Administer menu > Communications > Addressee Formats.
