Lorna, Thank you very much for your help. I have been on a steep learning curve and this has given me more insight in how to find various records. I have already found some links I didn't even know ex

Mike. Thanks yet again. I will try it out properly tomorrow with your suggested amendments which make so much sense. I thought my way was a bit too convoluted and I think this really is my best way of

Hi, Many thanks for all that information. My head is still spinning with trying out various methods of attaching media and it will take me a while to digest all you say. I had just about decided to at

Mike, Thank you for your further help. At the moment I am in panic mode at the thought of having to check through all my records. I was rather hoping that there would be a Standard query for listing C

Mike, After reading the various articles about sources, citations and media as previously suggested it is apparent that I have used the “lumped” source method and all the details I recorded on the ind

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Mike. I will definitely read up about the different methods of adding sources and I will get back to you. Just to explain how I got to this stage with so few b
