Thanks, Ron. this is exactly what I do with the 2 other family files on Legacy that do NOT have this problem. I just re-tested and it still works, just not on my newly-created family file. WITH sourcing thrown in, too, clipboards and all. I even create new sources on the fly while adding a new individual.
I sent Sherry the backup so we'll see what happens. Thanks again for letting me know I'm not (completely) bonkers!
