My Pilot-based AKD lists the source and page number. My MS
Access based AKD lists the same and quotes the source.
Meanwhile, I have to manually enter these while still trying to
coordinate my different dictionaries. I have other maintenance
to complete before I fill in much more to this indexing of
sources of canon.
The main reason is: I can ask you for this and you seem happy to
answer. When you answer, I check the entry and put it in my
AKDs. I thank you for that assistance.
Meanwhile, there is nobody else I can ask to help coordinate all
these dicationaries I'm maintaining. Add that I recently got
someone ELSE's word list with the field structure set up
slightly differently, and I'm trying to do a cross-pollination
between them to enrich all involved word lists.
So, my main focus is on the other stuff for now. I mostly dream
of an index of all canon. It's just too much while I live an
active life and try to learn French by next April.
If it wasn't for this inconvenience of working 40hr/week. Then
again, without the convenience of a paycheck, I doubt I'd be
doing better...

Awwwwwwwwww. You mean you haven't transferred all this
information between these different databases?
I will make the single comment that a little birdy told me that
Okrand really wants your program for checking canon. It would be
a great honor were you to make it available to him...
