RE: [LegacyUG] Help with SourceWriter

Hi Dan: Oddly enough, "microfilm publication" is something about which I rec'd a correction note awhile back--or I probably wouldn't have noticed it. Is this list or the website (referred to in another thread today) the place where one inquires if a global change is in the works? When I remembe

Re: [LegacyUG] Help with SourceWriter

Re: "variations" You're correct. I've entered several thousand census citations into my file using SourceWriter and until you pointed this out, I had completely missed this minor difference. Also I noticed, while taking another look, that while the bibliography entry correctly has for citati

RE: [LegacyUG] Help with SourceWriter

I did not one variation between some the census sources I have in another file and those produced by _SourceWriter_. The difference is in the source of the source description (Census records > United States > Federal census records > 1860 population schedule (etc.) > Online images). Source write

Re: [LegacyUG] Specific Events without Citations

Kris, It would seem that Dan has the best solution to use a restored latest backup and compare both files in the split screen, especially if new entries would use a higher RIN. If that's not to your liking, I think you can still find a somewhat workable search list. I believe the search for "al

Hi Keith: I hadn't worked with the census yet. Your note was a good reminder. There are a lot of those. I'm always hoping to publish parts of the file; I generally enter all the information about a census. I am more accustomed to having a MS at the household level than at the county level, but

Re: [LegacyUG] Specific Events without Citations

Hi Kris, I don't know how you deleted all your census citations, but if I had done something like that, I would do a restore from a recent backup of my family file. Kind regards, and best wishes in fixing this. Dan - Original Message - From: "Kris" To: Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2

I found where I can search for people with events that don't have citations attached. Is there some way to search for a *specific* event that isn't cited? In trying to clean up my Master Source List, I ended up DELETING! Yes, DELETING!! ALL of my census citations. *sigh* Yes, I'm an idiot.

Hi Keith: Thanks for your thoughts. The same seems true for _SourceWriter_ if you use the "overwrite" tab. I wonder about "portability." In other words, isn't it less likely that a sources entered in the BASIC system and even those in SOURCEWRITER with "overwrite," will be read by any of the ma

I am probably in a minority - but I tried Source Writer - and gave it up for my own BASIC sources. Source Writer tends to print out in many lines of information - I can usually get all of the info I need (in a printout) - in 2 lines using BASIC format - and it meets the reasons for sourcing - "to

Excellent catch, Marg. I would think, since this is the family that the sample database opens to by default, that those particular parents would not be set as private. A potential new user opens the sample file to take a look around and look what happens; an immediate issue crops up. A helpful
