Hello, I don't think I've posted before, or not for a long time. I mostly add new family births, with no problem. Now I am trying to update some info just given to me about a cousin's family. I had the death date of someone, but only the month and year, now I have obtained the date (day). I tried adding it and clicked Save, but it still doesn't appear; and I can't find any help in Help. I have other new info about that same family but got discouraged with the first attempt (above). I'm used to years of easily adding info to the OLD Family Tree Maker (not the newer versions), but I'm not having any success with Roots Magic. I am using RM V.6; I have V.7 but haven't installed it yet. Thanks for any help. Joy --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Every now and then, when I bring up the Edit Source window (using website with multiple databases), some of the information is missing - in particular, the Source Details information is missing and a couple of the tabs across the top. Usually rebooting the computer fixes this, but it happens too often to have to keep rebooting. Any ideas what to do? Robert

It sounds like you are merely confused by the similarities between the Edit Source window which you get at through Lists > Source List > Master Source List > Select/Edit versus the Edit Source window you get to through Edit Person > Select/Open Sources > Select/Edit source. When you edit from the Master Source List, you do not see the tabs and fields for the (many) citations of that source.

RM has built in source Templates. You can copy and change the copy, but cannot be changed. You can copy them making any changes you want: however some user defined sources will not transfer. I think it is better explained in the Webinars. They are working on this problem.

I meant the original built in can't be changed.' Jon P On 5/1/16, Jon P Czarowitz <czarowitz@gmail.com> wrote: > RM has built in source Templates.
