Lorna, Sorry, that is typo on my part, an underscore is missing, so it should be: =IsTrue(%FACT._SENT% = "") I've even confused myself about items subordinate to a Fact. =IsTrue(%FACT.SOUR2% = "") is a special Citation structure called a Source Note that is allowed independently of Source Record links. =IsTrue(%FACT.OBJE% = "") is a link to a Multimedia Record directly from the Fact (not the Citation). =IsTrue(%FACT.OBJE2% = "") is a Local Multimedia item attached directly to the Fact.
