Yes Keith et.al
I am forced to use the single bar to enter multi sources at a single time
to a single person.
Did you try adding even a single source using the 'milti bar' routing ?
Even then it will add that source to fields where not desired of that field
contains any information.
Think if you are tracking a single family through 5 census records, then
you have to enter EACH source separately to each individual.
Example you track a family, husband, wife, and any number of children.
Each source of the 5 it is necessary to go through the 'single bar' routing
for each individual for each source. An extremely lot of wasted extra
effort. Yes it can be done.
census
1850 1860 1870 1880 1900 etc
head x x wd x x
wife x x died
bef '70
child
#1 x x x x x
who m. x x x
had children x x x
who m. x
# 2 etc more children
multiply this by other descendants.
Think of how many times you have to use the 'single bar' routine....
With the 'multi bar' as in v6 the routine was much simplier.
As other has also indicated in the past, and as I believe, the 'multi bar'
routine in v7 is a determent to sourcing. Besides potentially adding
source info where not desired.

*************************
Use the single bar rather than the "three bar" - it only adds the
source to the highlighted item. Is that what you want??
