When opening an Individual Information window, the cursor will automatically appear in the next empty vitals field. Many times people have a birth date entered but no christening or baptism date entered, thus the cursor will appear in that empty field. So what you are seeing is a normal function. If there is a date in the christening field, but no death date, then you’d be seeing the cursor in the death field.

Whenever I open an Individual’s Information dialog box, the cursor is blinking in the christening field. That’s all I meant by that. I just went back into my ancestor where I added the land entry source. It’s there – in the christening field. I tried to edit the source, and I got the runtime error message I cited. When I tried to close it, I got the dialog box I was referring to – “Edit Mater Source Definition – Christening.” When I close this box, I am bounced out of Legacy altogether. It may sound as if I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’ve added many sources in the past without incident. I don’t know what is happening here. I checked out Error 9, and I have the current build date (26 Feb 2015) and version (8.0.0.473). I consider myself fairly computer adept, and have not had issues with Legacy in the past. I feel at a loss as to how to proceed.

I'm usually using the Source Clipboard, click on the Change Master Source link to access the Master Source List and realise I haven't already made a source for this data and so click the Add button. But I could be on the Assigned Sources for an Individual screen accessed by clicking the books icon which is on all entry screens and on Family View. Then click the Add a New Source button instead of the Cite a Master Source. If unsure if you are adding a Source correctly, check out the Videos available on Sourcing. There are a number and some of them are free including "Sources and Citations Made Simple, Standard, and Powerful" http://www.familytreewebinars.com/legacy_videos.php I have no idea what you mean by a christening diaog box or what you mean by the default position of the cursor. Re errors. Have you discovered the website troubleshooting help? Check it out and see if any of the Error 9 fixes help. http://www.legacyfamilytree.com Help Centre Troubleshooting Help. Instead of staying with this source that is causing you so much trouble, you might try entering a different source and check that is error free. Also, it's quite a good idea to practice with the Sample database rather than with your own file. That can avoid errors that may have crept into your file because you haven't run File Maintenance - Check/Repair which is needed to keep a database healthy.
