Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing a second Residence Event trouble
Hi Dennis, 1) You don't have to go to the Assigned Sources window to assign a source using the Source Clipboard. You just have to have the cursor in the event you want to source. 2) It sounds like on the Assigned Sources window you have unchecked Show all events Cathy At 08:52 AM 23/02/2008, you wrote: Hi, I entered the first Residence Event for this person and sourced it without a problem. The source shows up correctly across from the Residence Event name in the Assigned Sources list for the person. I then tried entering a second Residence Event for the same person based on a different source than the first. I can add the Event ok but when I highlight the event in the events list, then click my sources icon, I expect the highlight to be on a newly added Residence event in the Assigned Sources list so that I can copy my source from the clipboard to source it. Instead, the highlight is showing on the NAME event and there is no second Residence event in the list to even highlight. I'm pretty sure I have had no problems adding more than one Residence event and sourcing them before. Wonder if something changed in the newest Legacy update?? Can anyone duplicate this problem or is there anyone who knows what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

RE: [LegacyUG] Sourcing a second Residence Event trouble
Thanks for the reply Cathy. Yes, I did have Show All Events unchecked. That seems to have fixed the problem. However, it is interesting that you say I don't have to be in the assigned sources window to copy a source from the clipboard because I tried it several times and it gave me a message saying that the cursor was not in a field that could accept a source (I'm paraphrasing here). But that was when I still had Show All Events unchecked. So apparently the Show All Events box can determine whether the clipboard is operational for certain events or not. Now though, I can't get that message to pop up whether the box is checked or not--go figure! Thanks for helping me out here--at least I can now continue to source events! Can I ask about something else? I added a Cause of Death event via the Indiv Information event screen. Why doesn't the information I entered for cause of death show up in the family view for this person? Cause of Death is one of my 5 customized display choices for the family view. I've always wondered about this.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing a second Residence Event trouble
In what I am reading, it might be that you are not adding it to the second event, but the first (again). If I am wrong, sorry.

Re: [LegacyUG] Sourcing a second Residence Event trouble
The Cause of Death that shows up in the family view (if selected) isn't one of the events. You enter it by going into notes, selecting the Medical tab, and filling in the Cause of Death field there Can I ask about something else? I added a Cause of Death event via the Indiv Information event screen. Why doesn't the information I entered for cause of death show up in the family view for this person? Cause of Death is one of my 5 customized display choices for the family view. I've always wondered about this.
