This is one reason I went back and took most of my details out. Seemed stupid to have the same sources, with the same detail repeat more than one in the sources, like that. I was using FO when I discovered that that happened. I had thought that if the source was the same and the details the same they would only report once, and if the source was the same but the detail different then it would report that difference, but it is not so. So, I spent hours and days, taking out details from my sources for that very reason. God bless. Carolyn, just an old Texas Gal.
