Hi Cathy, Thanks for bringing that feature to my awareness. I had seen the save and load buttons, but had never experimented to see what they did. I will probably be sticking with my method for this particular situation that I am dealing with. I copy the source from the notes and paste into the comments of the citation for the GEDCOM that I received. I then copy the last line in that to paste into the source detail of the next source, which is the book that much of this database is derived from, and the last line is volume and page information. Even though I've become quite adept at this, it's one of those projects that I'm likely to never fully complete. I work on a group when I am doing research on them or when sharing the information with someone else. -- Brian Schultz Hood River, OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
