Mary, Thanks for your info. That is a interesting way to save copies of records. I do that with my source citations. If I need to put in any notes or media for that source or record, I would do it in the source citation. I guess my way of thinking is that research notes or the To-Do list would be a place to put down any items that in need to research. I was going to use the research notes, but since I can't print a list of all the research notes, I think I need to change over to the To-Do lists so I can print all the items that I need to research.
