texte = Velma, Sorry if I offended you in any way. Yes, different countries write out addresses differently -- frequently it's postal code before state or city, like they write out dates DD/MM/YY. I try to do the right thing, but slip up sometimes; I've never had anything returned because I put the postal code after the city though. Sorry if I took anything out of context; I thought perhaps you didn't do much international business. It's been so long since I set up with Authorize.net, that I forgot which processor my merchant bank (Fleet) uses. But in the past year or so, I have been getting AVS codes from many of the foreign transactions.
