RE: [LegacyUG] Ibid. in reports
Not only should identical sources not repeat [when they are back to back] but once you used a short source [subsequent citation] it should continue to use that short citation even if the details are slightly different. The classic example is a book. 1st citation [no italics because I am using plain text]: Leonard L. Slade Sr., compiler, Lamar County Heritage (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc., 1978), 237.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ibid. in reports
I think I misspoke in my earlier message. When looking at the 'View' - 'Master Lists' - 'Source…' - 'edit' - 'Edit Master Source Definition' - and use the same 'name' for the 'Source List Name' and the 'Title', both 'names' will appear in the same numbered end note of a book - which appeared to me to be duplications - perhaps not. Should an entry in 'Title' be eliminated/omitted when it is identical to the entry in the 'Source List Name'? It appears that if I leave the 'Title' blank when entering Master Sources, the first appearance of the source in a book format will be the full reference reading with subsequent end notes showing as a cversion of the Master Source, somewhat like Michele indicated. Also, I'm still trying to fathom the significance of a 'File ID' when applied to a Master Source and a 'File ID' as it may relate to a Detail entry. If I use the same 'File ID' number in both places (and here is where I must be in error), they appear in the end notes of the book as '…... ID: 1234 and Cit. ID: 1234…' . I've been using a Source Citation Report (selecting the 'number each source' feature during the build) and using those numbers from the resultant 'File IDs' report to enter File ID's for my Master sources. If I also enter the same File ID for a detail, and do an 'Advanced Sourcing' routine to associate the information with all those persons using that Master source, they will be identified to a 'Citation Report' with that 'Source Citation' (AKA File ID). This report is divided into two parts - the first one is the 'File ID' and the second is 'Source Citations'. The report beomes extremely large very quickly when you may have 100-200 persons referenced in a singe source. The process to do the foregoing is rather lengthy and too long for this message, but the different File ID results in the end notes of a book (descendant narrative) are interesting. Positive observations or comments welcomed.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ibid. in reports
Jemima, Traditionally ibid worked well with basic sources, however, it is not, and cannot be, applicable to Source Writer Sources, because the latter has a separate statement for the 2nd appearance of a source. I would think that it still works for basic sourcing, although I am open to contradiction, as I have not checked this for years since I now have so few.

Re: [LegacyUG] Ibid. in reports
On one of my four saved .fdb files ( I keep several copies just in case I screw up one so bad it needs to be trashed), I changed the data file .fdb to .mdb and opened it in Access. I then opened 'tblSR' and deleted the column entitled 'SrcTitle', then inserted a blank column and renamed it 'SrcTitle', saved it and closed Access. I then converted the .mdb file back to .fdb and opened it. The duplicate data appears to have been removed since I see only one Source title in the book endnotes. Kind of a long way around, but I accomplished what I wanted. If I later decide that I do need the 'Title', I can resort to one of my other saved .fdb files. With regard to my earlier comments about 'File IDs', I'm beginning to question why I really need them. I stopped entering File IDs after setting up 50 of the 985 sources with File IDs until I can rationalize whether to proceed with this process. I have my Master Sources numbered in the MRIN-nn format, filed in boxes in that order, and also scanned them into my Docs file for addition to an individuals events, etc., if needed. As a further precaution, I add the MRIN-nn as a suffix to the end of the 'Source List Name' so that I have sources cross-referenced for each individual in my file. Marianne has a point - I am not able to resolve the 'ibid' action, but at least my attempted 'fix' removes some of the data that is so redundant in a book endnote, but does have a cross-reference to show the source number for each individual's Event data. Bob Re Robert's comment on whether the Title should be omitted if identical to Source List Name, that's something that drives me crazy.

(repeats what is listed in the previous citations) work OK in reports? I am trying to create an Ancestor book report for an ancestor and notice that the sources at the end of this report are mostly of the same source so it is repeating itself many times. As I have already checked Ibid in Options/Customise/Sources, it doesn't look that it is working in the report function. I have just been checking the archives for this user group but cannot see any recent posts . Can anyone confirm this?
