More concise source report?

Let's see if we can define the requirement a little more concisely.

As I understand it there is some group or set of people that you are interested in. For this group of people you want to print a report that lists all the Sources (and Source References) for those people.

Is that correct?

If so then how is the group of people derived. Can it be derived within iFamily for Tiger? If so then maybe the report can be generated directly without exporting to Excel - then all the other iFamily users can have the benefits of your idea too without all having to invent their own macro or automator function.

No, I dont want a subgroup at all. I just want to export the source report into Excel (as a csv format?) so my print out will have one source per line. I want to use it as the Index page of a looseleaf reference book.

In V2.352 I have enhanced the Sources Report as follows:

Added an option for One Line Per Source
Added an option to output to RTF or CSV

TNG shares an important characteristic with iFamily and that is great support from the author. Like Keith, Darrin Lythgoe is extremely responsive to users. Also like iFamily, it's a great program.
