Are you talking about the edit of addresses on the addresses management interface ? Or on the checkout ? In any ways, the solution will probably be to update, at least the address view's files via FTP.

There's just too many of them, and I can't guarantee you that it will work. It might break other things which are related to that modification, even indirectly.

I was able to update all the files listed and the editing/creating issue looks fixed. ![:-)](/media/kunena/emoticons/9.png ":-)") However, what happens now is... For example I have two addresses A & B under both billing and shipping respectively. If I select A under billing and B under shipping, then edit B under shipping and click OK, the page refreshes and now B becomes selected under billing. I want it to stay A as it was selected before. The other suggestion of yours of adding the code below in the address_view.php file doesn't help as the same thing happens - when I add a new shipping address, after save and page refresh, the new address appears selected under billing. else{ continue; } How can I separate the two?

Secondly - Sorry for taking time to reply. I have replaced the files as per you instructions. However, I haven't noticed any difference - the system works exactly the same as it was before. When I create a new shipping address and after the page reloads, the new address is being selected under the billing addresses as well as under shipping.
