Yep, I meant the source check mark (I inserted the symbol) but it did not
transfer in the email) visible in the FTST person view. The one drawback to
splitting the screening between FTST and TMG , is that if you want to add a
citation in TMG at the same time FTST is open, it does take a little
maneuvering to view all of the fields in the citation entry and citation
memo fields. It's worth the trouble.

Glee's note caused me to seek out what she meant by using
"the Source" (not to be confused with "using the Force"<g>).
I now assume she means the Source column checkmarks
on the person view. Would it be possible to create a mouseover
on each checkmark to reveal the details of the source in much the
same way a mouseover reveals dates and memos in the
Name/Place column? That would save having to open the
tag and clicking the Citations tab to see what source is cited.
Maybe a line can have only one mouseover or maybe it
would be hard to format the citation info (it needn't be complete
for most purposes, just the short title maybe) in a mouseover.
Just thought I'd bring it up because it seemed neat to me.

P.S. Just before sending this, I realized the problem. The
Citations tab is plural. It would get really complicated to show
more than one citation - probably not practical. Sending this
anyway, just in case it isn't so dumb.
