Hi, Paul,

That's basically what I'm looking for, except I'd like to have a generic
online database source template instead of a separate source template
for each online database. To that end, everything after the [SOURCE
LOCATER] element in your example would have to be contained in another
source element, and I guess [SOURCE NOTES] is the logical candidate even
though I don't like the fact that you then have to enter source data on
two tabs rather than one. (Hey, I'd like to see the [SHORT SOURCE TITLE]
moved to the main data entry tab, too.) I was using [SOURCE QUALIFIER]
and trying unsuccessfully to italicize the CDI part of your example.
Italicizing the entire [SOURCE QUALIFIER] element of course did no good.

Thanks,

Don
