Jenny: Thanks for the clarification regarding that particular source bug. I have so many repeated sources on my reports that it's difficult to see the underlying cause. (One report that should have 17 separate sources now has 47--and that's not the worst.) I still don't see the application for a true subsequent citation, however. If the Master Source and Detail are identical and attached to several fields as say, Footnote/Endnote #2, then on the report all corresponding statements should carry a superscript #2 and tie to the full Footnote/Endnote with no need to repeat in an abbreviated format. So where would the Subsequent Citation come into play in that case?

It's called Subsequent Citation because that is precisely what it is. The first time a Citation is printed it is printed in the full version. The subsequent times the same Citation is printed the abbreviated version (Subsequent Citation) is used. Only at the moment there is a bug in the program and the subsequent (small s) Citations are coming out in the full version, not the Subsequent (capital s) version. Example: First Citation - "England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837–1983," database, FreeBMD (http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl), entry for Philip Whetham, volume 5a, page 404, June quarter 1878, Bridport district; citing the General Register Office's England and Wales Civil Registration Indexes. Subsequent Citation - "England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837–1983," database, entry for Philip Whetham, 1878. because you don't need all the minutiae all over again, just the pith. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
