Nigel Brown wondered: > I have a Source Types where I wish to change the Repository > as recorded in the Attachments tab in the Source Definition... And Donald Range offered some good suggestions. Nigel, As Donald suggested, a little "reverse" logic is in order here. You imply that hundreds of sources are linked to one repository and you want to change the link in all these sources. You are quite right to recognize that changing them one-by-one would be a chore. Instead consider just changing/editing the repository definition. One action and now all sources linked to this repository have the new definition. However, you will need to figure out whether or not the sources whose links you want to change are the only sources linked to this repository. If these sources are the only sources linked to this repository, then the task is simple, just do the change/edit of the existing repository definition. But if there also are other sources linked to this same repository, the problem is more difficult, and will require some one-by-one relinking. As Donald suggested, determine which group is the smaller number of sources: those you want linked to a different respository definition, and those you want to remain the with current definition. If the ones you want changed are the bigger group, then first copy the existing Repository Definition and one-by-one relink the smaller group to the copy. Now change/edit the old definition. If the ones to be changed are the smaller group, then create a new repository and one-by-one relink to the new repository. Finally, if you want to change the link to a different existing repository, which may already have other sources linked to it, you are going to have to do some one-by-one changes. Again determine which group is smaller, change/edit the repository for the larger group and one-by-one relink the smaller group. For your sake hopefully one of these two groups is a very small group so any one-by-one work will be limited. As an example, to determine which sources are linked to repository number 43, run a List of Sources report with a Filter of: Repository... // Number // = Equals // 43 // END I would suggest sorting and output by the Bibliography template as generally that will put similar sources together, and more likely you will be able to see if there are sources in the list other than the ones whose link you want to change. Hope this gives you ideas, Michael

Nigel, Thinking about this some more, these one-by-one changes are not necessarily required in this case. There is nothing wrong with having two repository definitions which are duplicates and will produce the identically same source output. If you do want to change the existing sources to a repository with the same data as an existing repository defination, you could simply make the repository definition linked to your hundreds of sources look identical to that other existing repository. If the one-by-one work would be extensive, living with duplicate repositories may be a more acceptable. Hope this gives you further ideas, Michael
