Hello Janis,

suggestion was, say with Australian, Nsw births deaths marriages, to
have them under one Master Source of NSW Registry of Births, Deaths,

Hello Maureen.thank you for the suggestions. I have mainly NSW with
a few Qld and a couple of NT sources. After reading the replies to my
post I may have to rethink my desire to lump the stuff together. :o))

A few times in the past, I have gotten in a mess by having lumped the
sources together with the detail differentiating among them.
Having more Master Sources works for me. At a glance I know what I have and
don't need to put as much in detail.
But YMMV!:-)
Warmest Regards,

Wendy,
I don't know what has motivated you to wish to lump your sources to such an
extreme extent, but I suggest that you sleep on it for a week or so and do
some reading about sourcing in the meantime. I do not at all mean to
trivialize your motivation, just to help head off some future time-cons
Gary,
I'm sorry but I cannot help on that as I'm only familiar with Open Office. Even
if I wrote it out in SQL for you the two versions are different. I know there
are several on this list with the knowledge which you require so hopefully they
will respond.

I agree. I think I got carried away with the lumping when I combined
them. I will be splitting them again.

Just curious - do you have one Master Source for each year of the census
regardless of location or do you break them down by state, state/county
or state/county/town?

Yes I can see there can be problems lumping sources together for the
sake of tidying up the list, particularly with large databases.
I need to rethink and probably renaming some to get some uniformity may
be a better way to go.

What you are doing wrong is using the drop-down menus. If you open Legacy
you should see a series of tabs just below the main tool-bar, the left hand
one is 'Legacy Home'.
