Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting Sources from Selected Individuals
Hi Gene, Now you're back to a long long way around to my solution ;-) I haven't tried it but you should be able to use an Intellishare merge to merge the tagged group back with the original source attached only to the relevant people. No need to copy and paste each one. Cathy At 07:49 PM 11/05/2007, you wrote: Cathy wrote: Hi Gene, Doing what you suggest would save the Master Source but would lose all the Source Details.

RE: [LegacyUG] Deleting Sources from Selected Individuals
Hi Mark, As I understand it, that is not what Dick wants to do. He has a source which is correctly assigned to some people but incorrectly assigned in the unspecified field to lots of others. However, you can delete a source without deleting individually each instance of it. 1) Open Master Source list 2) Highlight the desired source 3) Click the Show List button 4) Click the Delete this Master Source and all citations to it button 5) When asked whether you really want to do this say Yes. Dick - how many correct citations do you have for this source? It may be easier to 1) tag these people where the source is correctly assigned and export them to a new temporary Legacy file. 2) delete the Master Source as above 3) import the Legacy file you created and use the Intellishare merge. The only difference between the people exported and reimported and those same people in the original source would be that source.

Re: [LegacyUG] Deleting Sources from Selected Individuals
I believe the OP (original poster) wanted to delete the Master Source "citations" from only some individuals, but not all of them, and keep the original Master Source and it's citations for the other individuals - so, steps 5 and 6 won't be necessary in that case.
