Hi,

Most of the contacts who are entered into our system are through donations. Therefore most of the addresses in the system go into the billing location.

However, we also sometimes enter contacts manually, or through some less visited forms, and that data goes into the "home location".

To simplify the creation of mailing labels (for post mail), we were thinking of making the billing address the default for everything. Could this cause problems? (I know that the admin interface does not allow to do it, and I would change it using SQL.)

Alternatively, when generating mailing labels, we would need some way to say "if there is no home address, use the billing address". Any ideas?

Thanks,
matt
