This is very similar to the system I use which I described earlier. There are some minor differences but generally, the concept is the same. I sent detailed information about it to someone on the list just last night. The offer is still available to anyone else.

Until then, I had planned to use the MRIN system, but found her system much easier to use, and works better with Legacy's File ID field. First you assign a sequential number to each source you. Then you use keep them in a spread-sheet. (Start with number 1) I enter my sources using Geoff Rasmussen's method of detailing the source name for the "Place Names". Most of your documents are related to a place; i.e., vital records, histories, censuses, etc. For Surname documents, i.e., family genealogy, histories, I start the Source Name with the SURNAME (in Caps) followed by other defining stuff in the "Source Name" field of the Source definition window. Photographs can be handled the same way, i.e., a sequential numbering system. This system is very close that the Family History Library uses. They have a lot more experience in filing source documents than I, and I like the simplicity of the system. Legacy, marginally supports this records numbering system, and hope they will consider adding editing tools so that you don't need to keep a spread-sheet to fully index a search the documents. I know this is a very brief description, and can supply more details to those who are interested?
