I don't know what else to say about it. I'm not 'complaining' about
anything. I'm simply stating a fact. I'm not stupid, apparently just
inarticulate, although I write for a living. I will repeat myself and
see if that makes it more understandable. When I click on a Source
under the Sources tab, in the Name List, where I know there is a File
ID# attached, sometimes the File ID# shows itself and sometimes it does
not. You're right, there is no File ID # 'field' on the name list.
However if I, or you, click on a Source under the Sources tab, a summary
of it will show in the free space under the Sources List. i.e. name of
the Source, Detail Information and File ID# is there is such a thing.
It's not about lack of space. The File ID# is simply erratic about
showing up or not showing up, when I know there is a File ID# there that
could be showing up.

It should be apparent from the previous messages in this thread that
no one other than yourself knows what you are talking about. Could I
ask that you try once more to explain yourself more fully.
As far as I can see, there *is* no field labelled as File ID # on the
Name List or any of its' various panels. I see a File ID # when I
click on the Detail button for a citation, but that's related to the
more general purpose Source Detail window, not the Name List.
Could it possibly be that you're actually complaining about the amount
of detail shown under the list of sources when you select a source? If
so, then it looks to me as though the amount of room given to that is
limited and that what precedes the File ID # may govern whether you
ever see the File ID # or not.
