Chick, No I'm not Sherry :-)
Yes it should do exactly that, but there are some things I am not sure on: for example, if you already have a Basic Source with the same name as an SW Source I do not know how that would be handled, and I am not 100% confident that *all* data will be returned. I would, therefore, create a new name .fdb file, and carefully inspect the contents, especially the Sources before dumping the original.

As a result I now have both Basic and SW sources. I would like to make them all Basic. Are you saying that it would be feasible to GEDCOM my data back into Legacy to accomplish this?
