Hi Richard: Thank you for the clear explanation! So, it looks like there isn't much I can do.
This is a good argument for going the add-on route (if only I could figure out which one!!) Thanks again for the reply!

Rob When any gen program exports to gedcom it always fills in the blank RINs so that the # of Individuals in the file is equal to the highest RIN. Right now Legacy says I have 26703 individuals, (Legacy home page statistics), but looking at the name list - RIN -LAST I see 26766 is last RIN and 26702 next to last. If I create a gedcom just that last ind would get a new RIN Richard Rob said: <snip> > THE PROBLEM: > When I export a GEDCOM file from Legacy v6.0 and import it into FTM v2005 > I > just noticed that the RIN#'s are not the same.
