Hi Paula, Yes, I do use emails as sources then tag them until I have documentation that confirms data gleaned from the emails. I also treat them the same as far as storing them in my system. I definitely print the emails that are more directly related to my research as in dead on target so to speak. Others that I am unsure of, I do not print however, I do file them in a subfolder as [email: unsure of data] to the main email folder and list them in excel as "no" to the sourced question but I do list any surnames within the email. You never know, sometime down the road when I am conducting a surname query when I get MS Access programmed just right, one of those unsure emails may pop up in the query results. I can always print it out then at that time if I desire to. If that happens, I can always move the email over to the main email file and update excel or access (whichever program I am using at that time as such. One thing about using excel until I get Access just right is that you can do a find item in the Excel spreadsheet, it just moves you down the list one at a time showing you all the ones with a particular surname. I tired to set it to search them all at once but it became too confused and found none. This is why I feel it will be better in the end to program a source database in MS Access.
Hope this helped some.

You have given me hope that "catching up" can actually be achieved! ;) Do you have emails as sources? Do you print them (after burned on CD and entered in Legacy)? For what purpose?
