Look at it this way, Dennis. A person may have source or detail text, comments, or even a source itself that they wish to remain private. By not selecting to add the info on reports, that's a good way of keeping it private. That privacy would be lost if the gedcom exported the data that one wished to suppress. Granted, they could use the double brackets [[ ]] for the text or comments, but not as readily for the source itself. Thanks for using Legacy.

You need to select this option to export *all* source data. I still think this was a terrible implementation decision. Report options should have nothing to do with GEDCOMs. <insert long sigh here> -- Dennis Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com
