Hi Pat, How many Source Writer sources are there that need to be changed in your database?
If it's only a few, you could simply set up a new Basic Source for each, copying over the relevant information, and then apply that source to each field where the Source Writer source is used. Once that's done, remove the old SW source from those fields, and delete the Master Source when there are no longer any people using it. That way, you avoid loosing the other data that Sherry mentioned in her post. And you might even spot a few old mistakes along the way that you hadn't noticed before, and have the opportunity to correct them. This is a suggestion only - you're the only one can decide if it's a feasible option for you and your database. :-) Wendy Pat Hickin wrote on 19/01/2015 02:19: > I'm thinking of exporting my entire family file to a .gedcom and > reimporting it.. > > Will exporting it to a Legacy file do that?
