Yes the Repeat is useful when you only want some of the previously entered Event. If you want the lot, including the Source, then the Event Clipboard/Copy and Paste the entire event is much quicker. Cathy At 02:44 AM 13/01/2007, you wrote: Don't forget the 'Repeat' faciility - it's brilliant f

In my view, there is no "wrong" way Stuart. I don't have the census as an event. My events are things like Residence, Occupation etc. (ie the details of the census). The census is the source and I attach each to each of the events. I use the Source Clip Board as I always find it much the faste
