APPENDIX G: COUNTY OPTIONS

The Royal Mail no longer use the "County" for the delivery of mail - indeed, they have removed County Data from the Postcode Address File on which many AFD products are based. Although County may be included on mail, AFD products and examples are set to omit county data when first installed. It is strongly recommended that for mailing purposes, County data be omitted.

Nevertheless, many organisations use counties for their own regional structures so AFD Products allow you to choose whether these are displayed (from the Edit menu), and gives you a range of county types to choose from:

• Postal Counties
• Abbreviated Postal Counties
• Postal including Optional Counties
• Abbreviated Postal Counties including Optional Counties
• Traditional Counties
• Administrative Counties
