Existing users, 
Hi - nice app, useful - however I'm wondering if it could be even better if AusAB would 'assume' an unspecified country to be Australia, provided that the state was a valid Australian state?
I only enter country name into Address Book for overseas (outside Australia) addresses (quicker and easier that way?. So right now it says, 'Address does not appear to be in Australia! - Doh!' Not much use like that. :-)
Could this suggestion be considered in the next update?
thanks, ct

Thanks Chris for reporting the issue you described. I agree it would be a pain to have to type Australia for each address, and AusAB is designed to assume addresses are in Australia without requiring you to enter the country for each address.Perhaps the issue is with the format of the State. As noted in the Read Me:
'An address may not work properly if the State field is not typed exactly as follows (upper or lower case): NSW, Vic, Qld, SA, WA, Tas, NT or ACT. Prefixes and suffixes such as "South", "Upper" etc. may also cause problems.' Note that the state names cannot include punctuation, e.g. 'N.S.W.' will not be recognised.
If this isn't the solution, please email me an example of an address which is not working for you, using the button at the bottom of my homepage.
As AusAB doesn't directly report errors, could you be more specific about where the message 'Address does not appear to be in Australia' is appearing?
I realise AusAB needs to be more flexible in handling different address formats. It's just a matter of finding the time to work on it. :-)
