I am using registered BK 7.0.46 with Windows 8.1 When I save data found from the IGI (Familysearch.org) I always record the source information including the batch number, which I enter in the Page/Reel No box at the bottom left of the source window. Typically IGI batch numbers begin with C for christenings or M for marriages. Searching using the batch number and parent's names will usually find all the children of a couple. As the information on each child is recorded in BK and the source is added I get the option to either "Add the previous source to this event" or "Add the previous source and page to this event" but unfortunately the page number is not updating so it is generally adding an old batch number not the previous one. This worked fine in BK6 and is a feature I have relied on for years. To clarify, an example, if I find a christening with the batch number C04487-7 and record that batch number in the source page/reel no. box. If I then search on that batch number using the parent's names and a time period of +_ 20 years I may find several siblings, for each one of these I want to record the same source and batch number but when I click on "Add the previous source and page to this event" I get a batch number from several days ago, C01722-4, not the previous one. Typically the drop down list on the source addition window will contain one C number and one M number but both old ones not the most recently entered ones, and I can't edit or delete these Best Wishes, Brian Taylor See the "Our Lancashire Appletons" website @ http://homepage.ntlworld.com/brianh.taylor/
To Brian Taylor Please send me private email giving me the exact steps you are doing. 1. Click S for source for an event. 2. Add a new source with __ in field __ and __ in field page. 3. Then you Close that source screen. 4. Then do you click Add Previous source right then, or do you close that list of sources and go to a different person or different event for the same person? Then you do what exactly? Are you selecting the top one on the list of previous events? If you give me the exact steps, I should be able to reconstruct the problem and fix it.
