Kirsten and Ruth, Following Ruth's email I have had a new look at the Sources and also created them using the Publication Center. I found no difference between the two ways in which the report was produced.
I must correct my previous email, as on closer inspection it is attributing incorrect sources to the Events. Not all of them, but many, whether there is a systematic reason for this I cannot tell at present. I will now have to check entries in my website!
