Ron, I use option 2. My Master Source is a specific newspaper which is listed only once in the Master Source list. Every obit, marriage, birth, etc... published from that paper uses the same Master Source with only the Details changed. I insert the specifics of the published event in the Details along with a scan of the hard copy before applying it the to the events of the individual it refers to. At least that's what I normally do. This time I got the cart before the horse.

Lena, Yes, that method is perfectly correct. But there are at least three ways of doing this, and I am not clear as to which you are using: 1) Have a Master Source called "Newspapers" and then put the name of the paper in the Source Detail, together with date, details, image etc. 2) Have a Master Source for each *named* newspaper with the Source Detail having the date, details, image etc. 3) Have a Master Source for each time a named newspaper is used. In the case of 1) and 2) then the image *must* go in the Source Detail, but in 3) it could go in either. I use 1), so in my case the image has to go in the Source Detail. If I get an image after I have set up all the references, then I have to add the image to each instance it is used. It could be done using Access or OpenOffice, but usually it is faster to do it using Legacy.
