Hi Sandra, I have a similar situation with a very large database (26,000 +) that I've imported, only using three sources, one of which is my own for estimating the birth dates for people without them. The original database put the source into notes, so I have to go to notes first, copy the information and paste into the source citations.
The way that I do it is to put the sources in the clipboard, using a logical order, making sure to click the Prompt for Detail box. I then add the source citations from the clipboard. If I only need the first one, I'll save that and hit ESC to cancel the rest. If I need the third one, I'll save all three, then click the Add or Edit Source Citations Icon and quickly remove the ones that I didn't want. I'm not sure if there is any easier method, but it's fairly quick once you get a pattern flowing. I use short cut keys to make it easier and speed up the process. Hope this helps. -- Brian Schultz Hood River, OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 21 Dec 2004 06:13:09 -0800, Sandra Duncan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On the source clipboard it says source 1, source 2 and so on.
