I agree with Jenny. I have a Master Source for EACH individual I have corresponded with. Of my 202 Master Sources, 80 are with individuals. Several of those individuals have 40 or more Source Detail records! (working on reports for a family reunion). Personally, I don't (think) I need more than the persons name (but am open to other suggestions). My Source Details include Emails, Phone conversations, and Personal interviews, all under one Master Source per person. If necessary, I would be willing to accept a different Master Source for each type of conversation with each individual (but like having them all together). Thanks for your consideration. Bruce
