Sally Thoreson I would also like to see an answer to this question if there is one. I have been trying to achieve it isnce version 6 without success. I have seen three proposed solutions so far, but, so far as I am concerned and I suspect Sally also from the wording of her question, they all miss the point. What I want to be able to do is to print a simple list of all sources showing primarily just two fields (other fields and citations are optional extras). The two fields I want to see are source name and source description. Source name is clearly designed as the main, unique, reference to each source. It is used in this way in source manager on screen, and I certainly use it as such - it even tells me where, in appropriate cases, I have stored my copy of the prime document, yet I have found no way of getting FO to print it at all, on any report or list. I have had to resort reluctantly to reading the file direct using MS Access to get round the problem. Does anyone have a solution, please? If not, I would certainly like to see it on a later version, or in Rootsmate.

OK, apologies. That wasn't what Sally wanted, but I'd still like an answer if there is one please. Jim Fisher in Luton, Beds., UK. http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jimella/geneal.htm - Fam hist pages I use CDs produced by Archive CD Books to assist fellow researchers http://www.archivecdbooks.org
