If you use the File ID in the Source Detail/Citation rather than in
the Master Source (I do both), then the File ID will show in the list
more than once.
I think this is due to the way Source Details are stored in the
database. They aren't stored once but there is a copy entered every
time that source detail is used - even when used multiple times for
the same individual.

I have been reading the messages about organizing files and using
the File ID field in Legacy. I have been using the File ID field but
I have noticed something that I have been curious about for awhile.
If I have a document that has more than one person's name (which
many do), I enter the file id as something like SMITH001 for the
first person I use it for. When I get to the next person, I find
that same ID in the list and use it, but then when I look again
later, I see SMITH001 in the list twice. Why doesn't it display like
master sources and only show up once regardless of how many times it is used?
Thank you,
