Hi Bob,
Tools like this are invaluable - I use the more sophisticated (and pay)
Clipmate. Other similar programs have been discussed on this list in the
past - some free, some not.
It's great to be able to copy several things and then paste a group.
I do use it when setting up the Source Clipboard with new source detail
... but that wasn't Donna's problem. As someone explained. She needs the
Save/Load on the Source Clipboard instead of using the multiple tabs.
I've never used more than the one tab on the Source Clipboard. I can't
imagine adding multiple sources to the same field at the same time. Even if
I had them, I'm sure I'd get confused and add the detail to the wrong one ...
But I use the ability to save my 10 most used Sources all the time and
change source with a right click on the Source Clipboard arrow. Some
sources seem to have been in this ten for years, others come and go
depending on the branch of the family I'm working on.
The first time I use a saved source on a particular day, I re-save with the
current date.
In my opinion, it's one of the best features of Legacy.
Cheers,
Cathy

Try using Mike Lin's Clipomatic ... it's free at
www.mlin.net ... he's an MIT student who wrote this when he was 14 and
working parttime at Bells Labs in NJ. I've used it for years.
You can specify how many items it caches (I use 20) and it saves
anything pasted to the clipboard in ANY program.
You can also set up an unlimited number of 'clipsets' to be
saved and loaded for use in different programs.
You access the saved entries by clicking on ctrl-alt-v just as
you use ctrl-v for the MS clipboard.
It even runs on Windows 95!

P.S. I also use his Startup Control Panel and Startup Monitor.

I'm not even sure how to phrase this question. I have looked it up in
the Help file as well as in my Legacy manual, but I could find no answer.
When I copy a source to the Source Clipboard, Legacy asks if I want to
overwrite it, or if I want to append it to the other sources on the
Source Clipboard.
If I append it, how do I select only that source to use from the five on
the Source Cliipboard?
In other words, I want to carry five sources in the Source Clipboard, but
I'd like to be able to only use one of them at a time.
Thanks---
Donna
