Brian, I continue to have issues. Here is what I did. First, I removed the existing source I had created which was showing up in the Christening field. Then, I deleted the Master Source altogether so I could start from scratch. Then, I created an event using Residence.
It is not clear to me where I should go to add the source for this event. I do not find any instruction on adding Sources to Events in Help. I assumed I just clicked on the Source icon at the top of my screen while I am in the Individual's Information dialog box. This is what I did. Now in the Assigned Sources dialog box, I clicked on Add a New Source. I entered 11.23 to find the EE section I want, and selected homestead files > basic format. I filled out all the fields. I went to repository and clicked on the ... to add the repository. I filled out the fields and clicked Save. At this point I hear a "ding" and I am taken back to the "Step 2. Fill in the fields below" dialog box" My screen is frozen and when I click Alt I get the "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range" message. Clicking OK at this point bounces me out of Legacy. I checked this error as Cathy advised and it says to make sure you have the most recent build and version of Legacy, which I do. When I go back into Legacy and go to my ancestor for this event, I see the event listed in the Events/Facts field. When I go into my Master Source List, I see there is a blank source at the top (before trying to create the new source for the land entry file I had purged all unused sources from the list). The new source I had started creating is not there, which is to be expected since I did not complete the process. Please advise as to fruther steps I should take to resolve this issue. Thank you.
