Dave, As I have said previously, I do not know whether all Source Writer sources behave in the same way, and I also keep the details to a minimum, especially for censuses, so I cannot really comment on these. In any event we have specific English Sources for censuses so they may not behave in the same way as others.
However, one source which I do enter pretty well is that for English Birth Indexes (only because one really does need all the detail to order the certificate). In the GEDCOM which I created last night here is an entry from the GEDCOM file: 2 SOUR @S111@ 3 PAGE volume 8e, page 778, Jun quarter 1895, Lancaster district 4 CONC ; citing the General Register Office's England and Wales Ci 4 CONC vil Registration Indexes 3 QUAY 3 3 OBJE 4 FORM png 4 FILE e:\Fergusons2009\ThomFerg_bir1895.png 4 TITL Birth Index 4 _DATE 1895 4 _SCBK Y 4 _PRIM Y 4 _TYPE PHOTO That contains all the detail which I included - so it exported completely. I still do not know why it isn't there in My Heritage reports, but then I have not looked closely. BTW I am not switching, for many reasons, just taking a look at what the program includes (and doesn't).

I understand everything you say. It has to be exported by the source and imported by the destination ... and each have to recognize the tags and then know what to do with them (or at least do something with them). I've viewed in detail the gedcom being exported by Legacy - SW and Basic Sources, using the same settings and Basic sources export the Source Detail in a PAGE tag. SW Sources do not. I'm sure TNG knows what to do with the PAGE tag it's just that it's not there for SW Sources.

Whilst my main method of publishing my data is on websites I do not like TNG, much preferring the Legacy Pedigree pages. What one needs to consider is not only whether Legacy is exporting the Source Details etc. but whether the importing program is reading them correctly. Yesterday I exported to a GEDCOM 5.5 and imported into My Heritage, and the Source Details do not seem to be there. I have yet to examine the problem in detail but I suspect that they are in My Heritage somewhere, and are simply not being included in its reports. This could be the case with TNG. I know that there are a number of users who do use TNG and perhaps one of them could advise on this question. But I still consider that it is something best tested on one's own set up.

I'm talking about Internet > Website, generic. I'll check some others but I have yet to see any get exported.

There was one Source Writer template (Tax Records) I'm aware of where the detail did not export; it has been fixed.

E.G. has Legacy stated that they will support the exporting of Source Detail in the Source Writer templates? Or anything like that? If not I'll need to go back and unconvert all of my Source Writer sources. Legacy is an important part of my genealogy toolbox, but no more important that my use of TNG. They have to work together, at least for me.
