Charlotte, I tested using the Individual Report. I don’t usually add a source to my AKA’s so I copied a birth source for my test using the option on the Assigned Sources Screen. Both sources were numbered ‘1’ with only the one source description at the bottom of the page – this being the option selected. In other words for that report it works as expected for me. I hope, btw., that we are using the same report because you do not mention the scrunched up lines in this report – which is a known bug!!
I suggest that you try using the Reset Button on the right, near the bottom of the Report Screen and see if that does anything. I am puzzled by your statement: ”No.8 is slightly different and is missing part of the citation so bearing in mind what was mentioned about there being no variation I checked them again just in case and they are exactly the same;” On the face of it there is a confliction – how can they be exactly the same when there is a slight difference?

I have 1 record; a statutory birth record; I have cited it twice; once for an AKA, and once for the Birth; I added them by using the copy facility in Legacy so I knew they were exactly the same; On the 'Source Citation' page of the 'Individual Report' for example, the entry for the statutory birth record appears twice, numbered 7 & 8; The AKA cites No. 7, the birth cites No.8, I obviously only want it to appear once, i.e both pointing to no.7. No.8 is slightly different and is missing part of the citation so bearing in mind what was mentioned about there being no variation I checked them again just in case and they are exactly the same; It has me stumped. I'm meticulous about my data entry but I can't find any differences and there are definately only two references to this one source when I checked under 'Assigned Sources'. Hope this is clearer.

You say a “report”, but the published detail for every report is different, without knowing which no one can check your observation. I can, therefore, only give a general answer. Provided that the source is on the same page (if using the setting for them to appear at the bottom of each page), or at the end of the report then the source will only appear once. However, it is essential that the Master Source and Source Detail are *exactly* the same in all cases which includes spaces and carriage returns etc.. If there is any difference, no matter how slight than it will be seen as a different source. Without any other details for the type of report and settings I haven’t a clue in your particular case.

My theory is that as long as it is Legacy related, don't be afraid to ask.

How do you stop a citation appearing in a report more than once, in this instance a statutory birth record I've used to evidence an AKA and the birth itself?
