Matt_G 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) I noticed a fairly strange issue with my sources yesterday morning. Version 7.03 In the MSL I have 16 unique sources. (Not many I know. I have hundreds I haven't gotten to yet, this will be the data entry job from hell.) <g> However there are actually 32 source numbers listed in the MSL. Sources 17 - 32 are duplicates of Sources 1 - 16. I tried doing a merge and I can't do that because when I put source 32 in the top merge box, and go to the second box, it changes to source #16. Therefore, I get an error message stating I can't merge a source with itself. I then tried deleting one of the duplicates, and it deleted both sources and all associated citations. (deleting #30 deleted BOTH #30 AND #14) So I restored the backup I had made before doing the deletion. I then started looking at the duplicate sources. If I go to the MSL and select source #30, then click edit, it says it is source #14. Not #30. Source #17 will say it is Source #1, and so on. My question is: Since sources 17 -32 are in reality sources 1 - 16, why are they showing in the MSL in the first place, and how can I get rid of them? BTW, Optimize and Validate has done nothing to resolve this. I'm not even sure this is a problem, other than being annoying.
