I am cleaning up my TMG projects which means cleaning up my citations. In the master source list you can see how many times a particular source was cited. I want to see WHERE that source was cited. In a database with 1400 people, I don't want to have to go person by person and piece of information by piece of information. I hope there is a way to see where each source was cited and not just how many times. Thanks - Sharon P.S. I didn't figure out how to search for this without getting hundreds of messages.

Use List of Citations Report, input the Source Number ID and whatever you need to know about under the list of whatever filter options are required. When preparing output columns, I use Linked Record; Subject 1; ID; Linked name; Subject, Last, Given; Linked Record; Tag Type and Citation Detail. I use this all the time, both to check on misspelling in the citation text, etc. I have a large number of different filter descriptions saved (by source type; by source ID number and date; sources with no page numbers, etc.). If I am checking a citation text entry under a specific source ID, I allow for a very large citation detail output (often 75 or more characters) so I can look for errors. Because I have thousands of Find A Grave citations, I often look at citations to that source only on a specific date or between specific dates. . . as a check to make certain my split citations are properly formatted. I could not manage without various List of Citation reports (or List of Events for that matter). Regards, Toby

Sharon asked: > I am cleaning up my TMG projects which means cleaning up my citations... > I hope there is a way to see where each source was cited... The report you want is "List of Citations". Usually one is interested in a single source, so an appropriate report Filter would be: Source Number // = Equals // [?] // END When run the report the '[?]' in the Filter will cause TMG to prompt for the desired source number. Likely Output Columns you may want would identify the Tag Type and its Date, the two Principals of the tag, and probably the CD: Linked Record; Tag Type Linked Record; Date Linked Record; Subject 1; ID Linked Record; Subject 1; Last, First Linked Record; Subject 2; ID Linked Record; Subject 2; Last, First Citation Detail Set the Sort Order as desired. I usually set the Subject 1 ID as primary and work through one person at a time. I have such a report Filter and Definition saved as I use this a lot. Even if you choose to generate an unfiltered report of "all" citations, you could include Output Columns identifying the source and do primary sorting on these fields to work through the sources of interest: Source Abbrev Source Number Hope this gives you ideas, Michael

Run a list of citations report setting the criteria as source number equals [?]. Adjust the output to show the columns your want (I like to include id # and tag type). When you run the report, it will prompt you to enter the source number you're looking for so you can use the same report over and over to produce different reports.
