Hi Pat,
This is again a difference between Master Source and Source Detail.
By all means put a Recorded Date in the Master Source when you first
create that source.
But for individual entries within that Master Source, put the
Recorded Date in the Source Detail.

I don't understand the "recorded date" on the "Source info" window.
I am working with the 1880 census for VA, B County, which I have
used on at least 1 previous occasion. Now I am using info from the
same census on a different person. So under "recorded date" I had
entered the date I first used the source. Now I am recording
different info and so I want to change the "recorded date."
But when I change the date, I am asked if I want to change the
"recorded date" for all references to the master source, or do I
want a new copy of the master source.
Well, the answer is neither--I just want to change the "recorded
date" for the info I'm recording now, today. I do NOT want it to
change the "recorded date" for all references to the master source,
NOR do I want a new copy of the master source in my list of sources.
Obviously, I don't understand the term. So, I click on "help,"
enter "recorded date" in the
word(s) to search for the meaning of the term and am given a list of
NINETY-THREE TOPICS!!
Can somebody tell me what this "recorded date" is supposed to be
FOR?? (Of course, when I get to the Detail window there's another
place where it says "recorded date" and has a "Today's Date" button
to click on. This is NOT the window I'm talking about now, but since
the same term of "recorded date" appears in both windows, I would
conclude they're both referring to the same information. It doesn't
quite make sense to me.)
And I doubt that I'm quite making sense too! But thanks for any help!
