Sally - All of my higher sources are prefaced with the coding HS. I can
merely type in HS in the box at the top and presto only those items show.
You may want to give some consideration to marking your higher sources with
some prefatory coding that would allow you to "filter" the source Pick
Dialog by that code. cheriC

Hi Don,
I normally enter a source and then extract all the information from it,
linking it to Individuals and Events as I go. Having the Source View sort
by source number is useful to me because the source I have just entered is
always at the bottom of the list and easy to locate when I want to link it
to a citation. A way of bringing up say the last ten sources used would be
useful, there are two higher sources I'm using a lot at the moment for
entering stuff from censussss and it's a nuisance having to go all through
the List each time to find them. I think other people have said they would
like something like this too.

Sally
