I originally started out with a separate master source for each
individual certificate, but after setting a few up realised that this
method would produce exactly the result I wanted without cluttering my
master source list with hundreds of nearly-identical entries. I may
have got the idea from something posted to this list - I don't recall
the details now.
I've also started doing similar master source entries for certificates
and registrations from other countries, so I have master sources that
are for a *type* of document, rather than one individual document
amongst a mass of similar ones, and use the detail line to distinguish
between them.
This is good database practice and is just how it should be done. By the
same token, you should not put street address into the Location Master
List, just the area (City, County, State, Country for example) and put
the street address - which is Repeating Data - into Address or Notes or
wherever.
