Sources Query

Post by Marpag » 27 Feb 2006 17:53

Can one write a query to show the following?:

I have a Named List, which I can import into the Query function. What I want is to list all the sources for each individual in that list, i.e. those attributes marked with an asterisk '*' in the 'Sources For:' section of the Property Dialog; e.g.

Name      Attribute             Source
J Smith   *   Census 1881
             Occupation*          Census 1901
              Birth*                 Birth cert.

etc.

Therefore the query should ideally show this sort of info for each individual on my named list. The query could be for an individual or a list - it's just that I want to print out the query with all the listed names when it's done - if that's possible of course...

Hope this makes sense

Regards, Marpag.

I don't think so as the query returns 1 line per person.

You can get all the sources for a single person using the Sources linked to record query, but thats not really what you want.

Thanks Jane - I thought that would be the case. I managed to get round my problem another way.
