If the change you want to make to the Source Detail is relevant *only* to the Father then doing as you say is fine and you get the result you want. If you want a universal change to that Source Detail, amending *all* references to it you would use Search and Replace to make the required changes and select Replace All. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
