Is it possible that you are seeing the 'subsequent citation' form of the source, in the cases where details are missing? In my experiments last year, I found that the implementation of subsequent citations, for some templates, dropped certain detail fields that really should be kept (or, at least should be kept if the value had changed since the previous citation).
A work around for this design defect is often to fudge the template by placing data in a different field than what is suggested by the template.

I have noticed that some of my sources in the reports do not show the source details. For instance, a Master Source is 'Research of Another (Email)'. Despite having selected (in Options > Sources) for the text and details and comments to be printed all I am getting is 'Research of Another (Email)' in some cases. Yet the actual source will have in the Detail the name and email address of the sender and date of the email. Sometimes I will add the actual text to the Text Comments screen, but this detail doesn't always appear in reports. And yes, I have selected 'Include this Citation on Reports' AND 'Add this detail to the citation on Reports'. For example, this particular source has a certificate number in the Source Detail box, but this is what prints: 32. Extract of Marriage Register, Extract of Marriage Register, Cit. Date: 24 May 2010. Can anyone else verify that this happens to them too, or is it just my system? Using 7.4.0.39. Deluxe. And while I'm at it - Tim from Support has acknowledged there is a problem with "Someone", but look what appeared today in a report: Edith Edith never married and had no children. Herbert W INGERSOLL [791] [MRIN: 264], son of James INGERSOLL [6095] It should read Edith married Herbert W INGERSOLL etc. etc. Cheers Jan 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
