This is an excellent idea and would be very useful. As far as I know, it is not in the manual--I have not been able to find it there.
Virginia <<snip: This latest discussion illustrates the need for a comprehensive data element reference targeted for the User base (not an under-the-hood data dictionary). If I decide to use the Event Address field of a Census event instead of a Description field of a Residence event for "123 S. Main St.", I need to know the system-wide impact of such a change BEFORE I change many thousands of records. I need to know which reports will be affected as well as the GEDCOM impact. I'm not looking for a 5 lb. tome; just a table listing each data element and where that element is used. Armed with that kind of info, I'm sure I can make much better use of Legacy than I am now, in addition to saving future (and unnecessary) headaches. I haven't bought the User's Manual, I'll admit, so if this type of info is in the manual, please let me know and I'll buy it tomorrow. Thanks!
