When people share information with me I include them in my RM file as master sources, and put brief details of our correspondence in the citations. This means that the names at least get listed in the footnotes to reports, but it has occurred to me that there might be times when I want to suppress the names but indicate that I could supply them if appropriate. In the Help file I've found reference to a privacy switch for sources: it seemed to say I could have two versions of the source name (eg "John Smith" and "Private correspondent - contact me for details") and in the report options set which one I wished to use. However, I can't get it to work (using RM6), so I'm not sure if I've misunderstood this or am doing it wrong, or if it's not working properly. In case it's relevant, all my sources are free form (and I don't intend to change that), and the reports I produce are almost always Family Group Sheets or Individual Summaries. Is there anyone who uses this feature who could give me a bit of help, please? Thank you, Arthur

I forgot to put my first thought into my first response. Add fact, make it Private and attach the source you want to keep private ONLY to those facts you have marked as private. Alfred =========.
