Hi Rich. Yes the citation does exist correctly elsewhere and is attached to six people totally unrelated to the person/event where it is appearing erroneously. (I'm getting fed-up with using that word). Done without Source Writer. Here's what I tried. - Deleted the source and all citations of it. Ran the FGR on my subject and as expected, the erroneous citation is gone. - Created a new source to replace the deleted one, using different wording -- just in case! - Before applying the new source, I reran the FGR and it was still clean. - Using Advanced Sourcing, applied the new source to the six people where it belongs. - Again ran the FGR on my subject and sh*t, it's back again, complete with the new wording. - I also tried deleting the event in question and re-entering it, to no avail. Interestingly, the erroneous citation appears only on the face page of the FGR. The correct citation appears on the attached Chronology Report. Does Legacy Support have any ideas on this admittedly minor, but nonetheless, annoying problem?

Does this citation exist anywhere correctly. If no, try this. To confuse the computer, I created a source that matched the wrong one, then combined the two, then deleted the one. It took a few tries to match enough that it would combine them. More recent versions of Legacy may not be as picky as at the time I did it. It seemed at the time, the program could only delete a full citation and not a partial. This was done in Basic, not Source Writer. You didn't mention what type.
