Thanks To all. I appreciate your input. I started using Legacy in the very beginning I think it was version 2 or 3, 1990's, can't remember which and have faithfully upgraded since then. With each upgrade the source data underwent a change. Now I am trying to rectify the situation. I want the source to print once for each individual that it is on, but not the second, third, etc time. That way I can see the description for each individual without having to root through a lot of extra material. I also noticed that the source footnote would change in number from printing to printing so it made it difficult to make corrections without having a print out of the before and after. I think perhaps each upgrade made enough changes that things got moved around to the place the program thought was the most logical. Unfortunately it was not what I thought was logical and now I am scrambling to straighten it out. A lot of the toots and whistles that we have today were not present on the earlier editions so the changes had to have some effect on the data that was present. I still like the program but do wish they would take some care in preserving the old data the way we entered it. It is easy to lose data on an upgrade no matter what they say.

A way to stop this happening is to set up the source and source detail on the Source Clipboard and use the Source Clipboard to add it each time it is appropriate. If you really want to get rid of all Source Details in Reports, you can reset all those ticks by going to Options > Customise - Sources Tab untick the Include source details on source citations on reports - and click the Reset button. If it does what it says, this will work for you. I usually try things before posting to make sure it's currently working as expected but I'm not about to try this one as I have a deliberate mix of ticked and unticked source detail. I've used it in the past. I would like an override button on reports so that for some reports I could say in effect - forget the ticks and don't print any source details, text, comments - or forget the ticks - print all source details complete with detail text, comments The only way to do this currently is to export to a temporary file and reset them. I'd also like to be able to reset the ticks on the Source Detail tabs just for a particular Master Source rather than all Sources. You can probably do this in Access but I'm not an experienced Access user.
