Thanks.  But I'm not asking where you can add the File ID.  That information is readily available in the Help feature.  What I am asking is, what is the purpose of the File ID?  Perhaps it's obvious to all but me.  I have my own convention for naming sources; since most sources are specific to a

Re: [LegacyUG] File Id's

Thanks, Steve.  A couple of questions.  I have my own naming convention for my sources on my hard drive.  Why would I need to supplement that with a file id?  Does it have anything to do with maintaining a master source list?  I don't do that.  I know EE recommends it.  I figure if I have my data

Re: [LegacyUG] File Id's

Here is my take on the File ID field in sourcing. Let's assume that you are an organized Genealogist that keeps meticulous records. You have organized all of your original paper documents including sources by family names. Within a given set of family names you have several families, e.g., Jones,

Re: [LegacyUG] File Id's

Barton, You can add a File ID to a Master Source or to Source Detail. Look for the box on those screens. I also use the CLOOZ numbering system though I no longer have CLOOZ. I'll always be grateful for the idea as I was surrounded by people who filed by family and I just couldn't get my head

What is a File ID?  I went to Help and typed in "File ID" in the index and "File ID Number" came up.  I selected Display and a screen came up with the heading "File ID Number Assistant."  There is information on how to generate lists, sort and perform various functions using the File ID, but there

I number my documents using CLOOZ and use the File ID field to put the document number. ie Birth 001, Birth 002 and so on. Depends on how many categories you want. I use the KISS principal so put letters and emails under correspondence [Corr 001] Marie Marie Varrelman Melchiori, Certified
