Not only should identical sources not repeat [when they are back to back] but once you used a short source [subsequent citation] it should continue to use that short citation even if the details are slightly different. The classic example is a book.
1st citation [no italics because I am using plain text]: Leonard L. Slade Sr., compiler, Lamar County Heritage (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc., 1978), 237. Subsequent citations: Slade, Lamar County Heritage, 237. Slade, Lamar County Heritage, 142. Slade, Lamar County Heritage, 68. Even though the page number changes,,you should still be using the short citation.

There are certain conditions that will cause them to do that but these can be corrected. To get help from the LUG list you need to identify the specific report you're generating, whether the repetition is in footnotes, endnotes or bibliography, the format you're producing (RTF, HTML, or in the Preview). If you'll be very thorough in posting the description of your condition someone will surely be able to solve the problem.

(repeats what is listed in the previous citations) work OK in reports? I am trying to create an Ancestor book report for an ancestor and notice that the sources at the end of this report are mostly of the same source so it is repeating itself many times. As I have already checked Ibid in Options/Customise/Sources, it doesn't look that it is working in the report function. I have just been checking the archives for this user group but cannot see any recent posts . Can anyone confirm this?
