Cathy, DITTO THAT just spent the day cleaning out my document files of old documents and that was just for financial documents that are over five years old and don’t even pertain to genealogy. That folder is even bigger LOL as I am also trying to reorganize my files to be more consistent with the source document that I use to make copy for my online files. Something to do on a COLD BLIZZARDY NIGHT yuk. and also lock it down on my network so there is only one internet access point instead of every visitor (family, kids want internet while visiting at holidays and that ends up costing me more

They don't get logged by writing to an email list. Use the link on the Home Tab. I only use File ID for hard copy sources and mostly they're in Source detail. I'm toying with using it more for digital files as I'm rethinking some of my organisation. Cathy Don Quigley wrote: Thanks, Cathy. That would work OK, but I’ll have to keep a pdf “open†for quick access and it would have to be updated frequently to be reasonably current. My suggestion would be to add a “Find by File ID†search box to the Master Source List. … and while your programmers are at it, why not make the “Find†(by Source List Title) box have more flexible search criteria (with wild cards?), so that you don’t have to remember the exact spelling of the beginning of a title for the first of its “class†to be found. Life for me was simple when all my sources were “prefixed†with the File ID (ie., 2500 – 1900 US Census…) and all my media files had the same File ID in their filename (ie., 2500_IMG.jpg). But I am trying to do away with the Source Name prefix so that source lists sort alphabetically by “real†source name, not File ID. I suspect that will help a lot is visualizing sources of a common nature (ie.. all 1900 censuses will be grouped together in lists). But it will be harder to find sources when I want to make changes to the media gallery for a source. Thanks again for your ideas.

You can restrict the report to Master Sources. (Reports - Other Reports - File ID) Cathy Don Quigley wrote: Does anyone know how to search for a Master Source by its File ID ?
