I've had problems in the past and usually I just get to where I was in the file and if it doesn't have the right fields open then I click on Entry and (for this case) select Marriages, and then Source and put in the Year. It puts the two lines in the file which I then delete and then carry on my merry way. It sounds to me like you've tried that and it's not working - I would check that the MacBMD that is opening is the latest version - I have version 1.9.1, check under About MacBMD - I assume you're using OS X. It also has written there Ben's email address. If you've tried all this, then I'd recommend re-downloading and re-installing MacBMD. Let us/me know if you still have problems after this.
