Gail, The Date Accessed field is actually in the Source Detail screen. You may be confusing this with the Publish Date, which is in the master source. The publish date should be the date when the database was published.
I actually used to split my census sources at the city level, but am now doing it at the county level because of EE's guidelines.

With my EE book in hand, I have been wading through the templates and starting to make some source conversions. I'm kind of surprised, though, at one aspect of the US census template. I know this has been mentioned before in our *very* active list, but I want to revisit the issue to see what the future plans might be. It seems that the formatting for the "accessed date" is set to be input at the master source level, rather than the citation detail level. For users who lump their census entries by county or by year (like myself), then the date will not be applicable for subsequent census findings for different families. If no date is entered in this spot, though, the result is an empty space before the closing parentheses. The order of the source output seems to allow for the blending of the order of master source components and detail components, so I am not sure why we could not give the user the choice of where to include the accessed date. Geoff, how have you been handling this issue with your own data so far?? I believe you had stated that you lump master census sources by county as well, right? I am hesitant to convert too many of my census master sources before I know how this issue may be addressed. If I have somehow missed a note saying that issue is on a list to be fixed in an upcoming update, I apologize for the duplication of notes. I truly believe this tool is going to help thousands of genealogists improve their desire and ability to cite sources more accurately and completely! Kudos to the Legacy team!!
