Happy to share ideas. With that many sources, I would probably take a long term approach. I would put the PDN in the element of my choice for all new sources, and every time I added/modified a citation to an existing source I would change its PDN. After a while the sources that still need changing may be small enough to make it worth the time. I keep a list next to my keyboard of housekeeping changes like this I wish to make as I work on my data. Then I periodically check what is "left" to see if I can finish off that task. It seems to make them less daunting. Thanks for the suggestion. I may just start this when I start researching a different line. As for going back and changing the 1800 sources I already have---that would just add another list of housekeeping changes to the pile I already have.

If the PDN in sensitive braces is located at the beginning of the Bibliography template, then the List of Sources report can be sorted on the PDNs since sorting on the Bibliography templates will accomplish what you want. Unfortunately they are at the end of the Bibliography template. But I can still print the report and sort by title and get the PDN if I landscape and make my Bibliography column wide enough. It just takes more time and ink to print. I just won't be able to sort by PDN but I'm not sure I would ever want to do that anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Since I have almost 1800 sources, I will have to give this some thought before I change anything one source at a time. It may just not be worth the time.

Is is possible to globally change sureties for a source you have discovered less reliable that originally thought? Thanks, Judi

Thanks--it works but not on tags with another citation. But it caught most of them. I'll catch the rest when I edit my reports. Judi
