Thank You, Matt Heffron Traverse City, MI")* Here's how I resolved this on my setup. In Hikashop configuration go to Display->Views. Select your template and "Front End" in the drop down lists at the top of the page. If it's not right on top of the list, filter on "address_template", then click on it to edit. Cut and Paste the fields into the desired order/display. For you it would be: {address_company} {address_title} {address_firstname} {address_lastname} {address_street} {address_city}, {address_state} {address_post_code} {address_country} Notice the added comma after {address_city}. Editing and saving this template resulted in the address being formatted properly in the emails sent out to the customer. If you select "Back End" from the drop down list you will find another "address_template" that appears to be identical to the one for the front end. I had assumed that editing this template would result in the correct address format being applied when generating an invoice from an order in the back end, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Will keep hunting for a resolution on that one. Cheers Matt --- It's amazing how the omission of a semicolon can absolutely ruin an otherwise pleasant evening.

Thank You, Matt Heffron Traverse City, MI")* Hi, The address_template view file for the back end is indeed what you should change. Be careful to choose the correct template when editing it. If you edit it for another template than the one you're using, you won't see the change.
