Thank you for explaining this because I was confused about applying five 
sources at once.  I've never used this nor do I think I ever will.  I do save 
some clipboard items then apply each of them as needed then delete them.  This 
sounds like a feature that should have stayed gone.  It sounds like an accident 
waiting to happen when someone inadvertently goes to apply what they think is 
one source then applies up to five.

Hi Kathy,

I've never had five sources that I wanted to apply all at the same time to the 
same items of data!

But assuming you did, you'd want to go into Customise > Sources and set
7.5 Clipboard capacity to "Allow up to five sources at once on the Source 
Clipboard".

Then when you open the Source Clipboard, you will see "Source 1", "Source 2", 
etc.  Set up the first source, then click on "Source 2" and set up the second 
one, and so on.

When you've set up as many sources (up to five) as you need, you can then apply 
those sources to any item of data you enter into your database.  You can only 
apply all the set-up sources together, you can't pick and choose which one 
you'll use.

Personally, I've not yet come across any situation where I'd find this useful - 
but I'm sure that day will come.  When this option was removed a while back 
there were apparently many complaints, so it has been reinstated.

If you don't want to see the five source tabs in the Source Clipboard, go to 
7.5 Clipboard capacity and select "Only allow one source on the Source 
Clipboard" - that's the option I have selected for now, until such time as I 
find a need to apply more than one source at a time.

Hope this helps.  :-)

Wendy
