Hope this makes sense -- I need (okay, want) to go back and rename almost all of my media files (long story). For the source detail File ID I'm having great success using Search/Replace. However, I also have the media file linked to the source cite detail. So, for instance, I need to

I'm not postive Ron and Jean, but I think the reason why the system could not work with OH as an exact match is because the comma comes immediately after the OH. So, if you had stated OH, and replaced with Ohio, that might have done it with an exact match. I found out I had to manipulate things
