Hi Lew Regarding question 1) I have done this and it has been fairly straightforward. You might like to see this thread in the archives to see a method of converting the sources using MS Access. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08674.html
I can't help with Q 2. Regards, Jennifer http://colston-wenck.com -----Original Message----- From: Chick Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 15 October 2011 2:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Sourcewriter to Basic I have decided to stick with the Basic format and convert my Sourcewriter sources back to Basic. I have two questions: (1): Would there be a problem converting Sourcewriter to Basic? While I am in this process, I decided I would try to efficiently re-name my sources. For instance, I have a lumped master source called Birth Index. I have decided to split it down by states. In other words I am creating several more sources; Birth Index California, Birth index California 1905-1995, Birth Index Massachusetts, Birth Index Colorado, etc. Since the lumped master source “Birth Index” contains a mixture of all of the above, I need to move the applicable sources into their applicable master sources. The problem is attaching the individual source details to the proper individual. There has to be an easier way than opening the detail in the old source and copying and pasting the info into the detail of the new source. It takes several operations to copy each field. Question number (2): Is there an easy way to transfer the source details without having to copy each field separately? I would welcome comments and/or suggestions… Thanks Lew 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 Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
