Well, I guess they could be subsequent citations of the same Master Source, but 
the detail is different so they should all print.

I use Basic Sources (sorry, forgot to mention that) so no issue re templates.

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.

You might be able to guess from my recent questions that I am generating a
lot of reports at the moment and have come across what appears to be another
problem.  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
