Ann, Not having the CDs I am not sure what you are getting at here. It is one's own choice as to whether the Recorded Date and ID fields are included in Master Sources or Recorded Date ard User IDs in Detail Sources. One should also remember that the Help Files are *always* more up to date

The 'To-do's screen can be sorted in several very useful ways. One of these is by Locality which would make it very useful to get everything done at once when at a locality. Is there a way for the To-Do screen to show the 'Locality' in a column? The only work around I have found to do this

You can restructure the sentences to suit. Go to Edit Event screen (where you enter the notes, etc.), lower right is a box Edit - Redefine Sentence Structure or similar, click and a table of sentences will appear. With a little study, you will be able to change the sentences to read any way

A couple of years ago I decided to develop a tool for uniform source entry. The first method tried was screen shots of the sources that were to be the standard. The problem with them was that not all text showed on the screen (without scrolling to the right) in some of the boxes; i.e., the

Hi Carl, That will delete the individuals completely, not just the To Do list. I can't see any way of deleting To-Dos except individually. You can tag to-dos but as far as I can see this just gives an extra printing option. Someone else was wanting to delete Sources attached to To-Dos and
