Never having used FTM, I wonder if they have the equivalent of what Legacy calls a Master Source. In Legacy you have: FACT <------>> SOURCE DETAIL <<------> MASTER SOURCE How would you depict what FTM does? FACT <------>> LINK <<------> SOURCE CITATION Is there a something in FTM that groups similar citations together? Or is the grouping implied by what you enter in the citation. Maybe a knowledgeable ex-FTM user can jump in here. The reason I am asking this is that I wonder if the difference is that Legacy chooses to store user data in the link table (SOURCE DETAIL) and FTM doesn't. Anyway, it is interesting to see how others have attacked this problem. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools 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
