Hello Anne, Yes, I can do the search for #1 tags and look at ALL their locations. I want the shortcut of being able to just see for example those #1 people and the locations in just one state like Maryland. The biggest puzzle as I work with this is how to print out a list of just the tagged locations,
I'm just looking for a shortcut that I don't think is there. I want to have just those few #1 tagged people who were in just those few tagged locations in Maryland The ultimate goal is to have that special little list and then it woud be so much easier to edit the sources for just those few people at a time. I want to get uniformity in those sources - especially for the direct line. I've been using Legacy since version 3 - waaay before source writer. I'm not ready to redo everyone of my sources into Source Writer. But I can get them uniform in these small groups without being so overwhelmed. But again, thanks for the idea - I did try it.
