Sorry - when I paste the EVENT (WW I Draft Registration) - it IS sourced. I paste it - revise a few things for the new person (including the Source Detail like roll # and Draft Board #) and can save it to the new person. Saves a lot of retyping.
Oh - I have yet to do anything with the "new Source Writer" -- what I have been using seems to do exactly what I want and is quite clear. I heard that a mix was causing some problems when printing certain reports - so I will wait. Didn't mean to cause confusion.
