What I really want is one source = one source detail. I don't want all the extra workarounds to get that to happen. Plus, I think there is too much risk in your Replace All option. Something I've ran into a number of times, and can't believe I'm the only one I've got a document that has a nu

Legacy is somehow associating an individual with a Source Detail via Id's in some table someplace, right? The only difference I really see is that Legacy forces a copy of Source Detail, so that each association has a brand new ID that ties them together. If you read that info. I pointed to, FTM al
