Ok, Jenny, we are talking about the same thing. I do not consider 15
excessive and see no reason for changing how it works. If some of those are
sources which you are not likely to use then using the drop down list next
to the input box, clicking Options>Purge Unused will get rid of them. It is
also possible to put them back if you need them.
I am still of the opinion that a change is unecessary and I rather the
programmers spent their time on more important things - such as sorting out
the coding errors in Pedigree Web Pages, the correcting of which costs me 3
- 5 hours work every month when I do my updates.

Jenny, I don't know if I have managed to get mine set up in a different
way to yourself and Clarence, so I will tell you what I see.
1) I always have the "Show All" box checked.
2) Initially, on the screen I only see a list of a few very basic sources
eg BMD bur etc.
3) I enter a new event and on the Sources screen it appears in the panel
4) Without clicking the drop down menu I never see a list of "all" the
sources which I have attributed to everyone in my database.
I've just gone to the record of someone for whom I don't have a great deal
of information - Name, Birth, Death and 2 Census Events. If I click on the
"Books" icon, with All Events ticked I see 15 "events" listed, only 5 of
which have been Sourced.
If I go back to the Individual's screen and enter his Burial Details, then
click on the "Books" icon, I get the same screen, with the cursor
positioned next to Burial, ready for me to enter the Source.
However, if I have NOT ticked All Events, I will only see the 5 Sourced
Events - Name, Birth, Death and 2 Census Events. The Burial Event, for
which I am about to enter a Source, is not visible.
AIUI, the OP was saying (and I am agreeing) that he/she would like to see
the 5 Sourced Events AND the "empty" (ie unsourced) event where data has
just been entered.
